伯纳德·皮纳特尔（Bernard Pinatel）总统的炼油和化学品总裁关于这种伙伴关系：
“I’m very pleased with this joint venture, which aims to become a major player in the growing bioplastics market. Corbion’s unique position in the lactic acid and biopolymers value chain makes it a natural choice for Total. The joint venture will allow us to supply an innovative material that is 100% renewable and biodegradable and that responds to sustainability concerns.”
It is quite clear that Total are keen to pursue renewable resources in their business and this venture is evidence of this. Corbion already produce PLA at their factory in Thailand and this venture will lead to an expansion of this process. CEO of Corbion, Tjerk de Ruiter, spoke of his excitement about the expansion:
该合资企业将与Corbion在乳酸和生物聚合物方面的专业知识相结合的合资企业，并在聚合物中的领先地位结合起来，将使我们能够提供创新的产品，并将加速市场接受。
除了强调总体对可持续性的承诺的重要性外，ALOS强调了PLA需求和接受的增加。tjerk de ruiter将热塑性塑造为“one of the first renewable, biodegradable polymers able to compete with existing polymers.” The material can be used to produce food packaging, disposable tableware and textiles and a variety of other things including being one of the materials used for 3D printing. PLA can be used to 3D print a variety of things such as a足球运动员伊恩·赖特（Ian Wright）的眼镜. Check out what else PLA is used to 3D print for with the3DPI design roundup.
