Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Nowadays, there is a huge interest in first necessity products derived from biomaterials due to environmental concerns. A wide spectrum of biomaterials has been researched in several scientific areas. That is the case of the biopolymer poly-lactic acid (PLA). PLA's success has not started today; its studies have been launched since the 1980s. PLA is a natural polymer formed by lactic acid (LA) monomers. During the organic acid to biopolymer conversion, some difficulties are still present, which may slow the development of LA bioproducts. This fact needs to be solved in order to make PLA even more competitive with conventional plastics. On the other hand, PLA biopolymers' demand increased due to its versatility, where the market is expected to reach US$ 9.5 billion by 2027. Thus, this paper aims at presenting recent information about PLA production, market and demand, as well as the PLA barriers related to industrial production.
