PLA
is like an environmentally friendly plastic, which can degrade naturally after
a period of time, without causing too much burden on the environment. The
product of this material has many practical functions and wide applications:
1. PLA
can be used to make food packaging, coffee cups and tableware, etc. These
products can be disposed of after use because PLA gradually breaks down,
without leaving behind a lot of garbage like traditional plastics.
2. Medical supplies: Because PLA is good
compatible with human body, it can be used to make sutures, bone nails and
other medical equipment. These supplies are absorbed by the human body after
completing the task and do not need to be removed again.
3. Soil amendments: After degrading PLA
into small molecules, it can be used as soil amendments to help plants grow.
It's like turning plastic into a good fertilizer for the soil.
4, disposable products: some disposable
products, such as napkins, sanitary napkins, etc., can be made of polylactic
acid. They can degrade naturally after they use up, reducing the burden on
landfills.
5, plastic products: polylactic acid can
also be used to make some plastic products, such as toys, daily necessities,
etc. These products break down in a shorter time at the end of their service
life, reducing the environmental impact.
In short, PLA products can replace
traditional plastic products in many ways, helping to reduce plastic pollution
and environmental stress. Although it is not a universal solution, it is
playing an increasingly important role in today's environmental awareness.
