New Study : PLA does not Produce Persistent Microplastics

A new comprehensive study commissioned by Holland Bioplastics on June 25 concluded that the basic properties and hydrolysis of polylactic acid (PLA), a biobased polymer made exclusively from fermented plant sugars, indicate that PLA does not produce persistent microplastics. The literature study, conducted by research laboratory HYDRA Marine Sciences, shows that while non-biodegradable polymers persist and accumulate permanently in the environment in the form of nano- or microplastics, PLA hydrolyzes into smaller and smaller molecules that dissolve in water and ultimately biodegrade completely.

"Fully" Biodegradable: the Best Choice for Degradable Plastics!

In 2020, China has strengthened the management of plastic pollution, has issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Management of Plastic Pollution" and "Notice on Solidly Promoting the Management of Plastic Pollution", etc., and made it clear that by the end of this year in the municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capitals, and municipalities with single-listed plans to prohibit the use of nondegradable plastic bags, nondegradable disposable plastic straws, and nondegradable disposable plastic tableware.

Authoritative interpretation: the U.S. BPI industrial composting logo

It has been more than three years since the implementation of the new version of the Plastic Restriction Order in 2021, and the concept of biodegradable plastics has been widely popularized within the plastics industry, but awareness at the level of the average consumer is still weak, and it is difficult for them to distinguish what are truly biodegradable products. By comparing the labels of other environmentally friendly plastic products in China, the European sapling label, and the U.S. BPI label, we may be able to get some references from them.

120°C or more! How to improve the heat resistance of PLA?

PLA molecular chain rigidity is large, so the crystallization rate is slow, in the conventional molding process to get the product crystallinity is low, and thus has a low heat distortion temperature (HDT).PLA glass transition temperature is about 60 ℃, due to the low crystallinity, the temperature reaches near the glass transition temperature, the PLA will be deformed, and therefore shows poor heat resistance, which makes PLA can not be used to make products used at high temperature This prevents PLA from being used to make products that are used at high temperatures, such as food containers, household appliances, electronic products, and automotive parts. Therefore, it is of practical importance to improve the heat resistance of PLA.
