Question:
Question 1: What is PLA?
★PLA is the common name for Polylactic Acid or Polyactide.
★PLA is made from starch rich plants such as corn, wheat and sugar beets.
★These plants are first milled to separate the starch, from which is unrefined dextrose is processed.
★The unrefined dextrose goes through a fermentation process and the result is lactic acid.
★After condensation, two lactic acide molecules are converted into one lactide.
★The lactide molecule is then purified through vacuum distillation and a solvent-free melt causes the ring shaped molecule to turn into long chain polymers.
Question 2: What is the difference between biodegradable and compostable?
★Biodegradable means that the products break down through a naturally occurring microorganism, such as fungi or bacteria over a period of time.
★Biodegradable products are usually made from plant or animal sources.
★Biodegradable products can create methane, a greenhouse gas with 62 times the Global Warming Potential of carbon dioxide when dumped into landfills.
★Biodegradable waste may contain toxins.
★Compostable plastics mean that the products must be able to break down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass at the same rate as paper.
★Also, the broken down product should not produce any toxic material and should be able to support plant life. ★Compostable products are usually made from plant materials.
★Because biodegradable is used loosely with no legal enforced definition, compostability is more desirable for disposable products.
