Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a bioplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, tapioca roots, and sugarcane. It is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester, and is used in a variety of applications, including medical sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. PGA is biodegradable and biocompatible, making it an attractive option for medical and pharmaceutical applications. It is also used in the production of biodegradable packaging and agricultural films. PGA is a versatile material, with a wide range of properties, including high tensile strength, good flexibility, and excellent thermal stability. It is also resistant to hydrolysis, making it suitable for use in aqueous environments. The PGA market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for bioplastics in medical and pharmaceutical applications. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more companies adopt bioplastics in their production processes. Some companies in the PGA market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, and NatureWorks. Show Less Read more
