A depolymerizing process of polylactic acid, wherein the polylactic acid
is depolymerized in the presence of a hydrolase in an organic solvent or
a supercritical fluid, thereby producing a re-polymerizable oligomer. A
producing process of polylactic acid, wherein the re-polymerizable
oligomer obtained by the above-mentioned depolymerization process is
polymerized in the presence of a hydrolase or a polymerization catalyst.
