Poly ethane is the UPAC name of polyethylene and is known as the most common plastic. Despite the fact that polyethene can be produced from renewable sources, no organisms can decompose them making it non-biodegradable.

How is the structure of pla different to the structure of polyethene?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable polymer made from renewable resources, featuring a linear structure with ester linkages derived from lactic acid, which introduces chirality and can affect its crystallinity. In contrast, polyethene (PE) has a simple, repeating unit of ethylene (C2H4) with a linear or branched structure, consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This difference in chemical composition and molecular structure contributes to PLA's biodegradability and thermal properties, while polyethene is more resistant to degradation and has varied mechanical properties based on its density and branching.
