PLA, PHA and PBAT are different bioplastic material families, not interchangeable packaging solutions. PLA is rigid, transparent and bio-based, but it is mainly suitable for cold food packaging and industrial composting. PBAT is flexible and biodegradable, but it is usually fossil-based and commonly used in blends. PHA has broader biodegradation potential, but its cost and supply-chain maturity still limit large-scale foodservice packaging use.
