A composition comprising a blend of polyolefin, polylactic acid, and a reactive modifier. A mixture containing polypropylene, polylactic acid, and a reactive modifier is reactively extruded and mixed to produce a compatible polymer blend, and the compatibilized polymer blend is poured into a film and molded. And a method for producing an oriented film comprising orienting the film. A process for producing a reactive modifier comprising contacting a polyolefin, a multifunctional acrylate comonomer, and an initiator under conditions suitable for the production of an epoxy-functionalized polyolefin, wherein the epoxy-functional The process wherein the modified polyolefin has a grafting rate of 0.2% to 15% by weight.
