O le PLA e iai mea lelei fa'ainisinia ma fa'aletino. Polylactic acid e talafeagai mo le faʻafefeteina, thermoplastics ma isi auala faʻagaioiga, lea e faigofie ma faʻaaogaina lautele. E mafai ona fa'aaogaina e fa'agasolo ai ituaiga uma o oloa palasitika, mea'ai fa'apipi'i, pusa mea'ai vave, ie e le o lalagaina, ie tau alamanuia ma tagata lautele mai le alamanuia i le fa'aoga lautele. Ona fa'agasolo lea i ie fa'ato'aga, ie soifua maloloina, ie masaesae, mea tumama, ie anti ultraviolet i fafo, ie fale'ie, fala fola ma isi. O le fa'amoemoega o le maketi e matua'i manuia lava.
Lelei le fetaui ma le faʻaleagaina. O le polylactic acid o loʻo faʻaaogaina lautele i le matata o vailaʻau, e pei o le gaosiga o mea faʻapipiʻi tuʻuina atu, suture taʻavale e le mafai ona faʻaaogaina, maualalo mole mole polylactic acid e avea ma vailaʻau faʻapipiʻi-faʻasaʻoina mea faʻapipiʻi, ma isi.
I le faaopoopo atu i uiga autu o palasitika biodegradable, o le polylactic acid (PLA) e iai foi ona lava uiga tulaga ese. O palasitika fa'aola fa'aleaganu'u fa'aleaganu'u e le malosi, manino ma fa'asalaina i suiga o le tau e pei o palasitika masani.
O le Polylactic acid (PLA) e iai mea fa'apitoa fa'aletino ma Petrochemical synthetic plastics, o lona uiga, e mafai ona fa'aaoga lautele e gaosia ai oloa mo fa'aoga eseese. O le Polylactic acid e iai foʻi le susulu lelei ma le manino, e tutusa ma le ata tifaga e faia i le polystyrene, lea e le mafai ona tuʻuina atu e isi oloa faʻaleagaina.
