Corbion Purac, based in Gorinchem, Netherlands, has successfully made PLA (polylactic acid) bioplastic resins from second generation feedstocks. 

The selected feedstocks are those not suitable for human consumption and include plant-based materials like bagasse, corn stover, wheat straw and wood chips.
