Fiber Designation
In a February 1, 2002 Federal Register notice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it would amend Rule 7 of the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and designate NatureWorks LLC’s biopolymer PLA the first generic fiber name and definition of the new century. Based on this action, PLA now serves as the universally recognized name for a synthetic fiber manufactured from a polylactic acid or poly lactate derived from naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in corn, in the United States. In Europe, the legal generic is polylactide.
