Written by Andrei Radchenko | Jan 28, 2026, 8:52:49 PM

The attribute code “PLA” has been changed to “PLX”.
This change is intended to avoid confusion with the abbreviation for a specific type of plastic pellets—polylactic acid, a subcategory of biodegradable plastic pellets—commonly used in public communications.
The update has been agreed upon between SMDG and the WSC.
