There are several advantages of PLA:

PLA is made from corn starch, which is a renewable resource.PLA doesn't contain toxins.Producing PLA makes less greenhouse gas emissions, compared to standard plastics.The Step One bag is certified compostable according to AS4736.Less energy is needed in order to produce PLA, compared to producing standard plastics.
