ʻO ka polylactic acid (PLA) kahi ʻano mea biodegradable hou i hana ʻia mai ka mākiko i loaʻa mai nā kumu mea kanu hou e like me ke kulina. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia nā mea maka starch no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka glucose, a laila fermented me kekahi mau ʻano e hana ai i ka waika lactic maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe. A laila, hoʻohui ʻia kekahi kaumaha molekala o ka polylactic acid ma o nā ʻano hana synthesis. Loaʻa iā ia ka biodegradability maikaʻi a hiki ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa loa ʻia e nā microorganism i ke ʻano ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana, i ka hopena e hoʻopuka ai i ke kalapona a me ka wai me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohaumia ʻana i ke kaiapuni.
He mea maikaʻi loa kēia no ka pale ʻana i ke kaiapuni a ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he mea pili i ke kaiapuni. ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka Honua, he kuleana ko kākou. Wahi a nā moʻolelo nūhou, manaʻo ʻia e piʻi aʻe ka honua carbon dioxide i 60 ℃ e 2030. ʻO ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i nā plastics maʻamau ʻo ia ka hoʻopau ʻana a me ke kuni ʻana, no laila e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka nui o nā kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka lewa. ʻO ka polylactic acid plastics, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, kanu ʻia i loko o ka lepo no ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana, e hana ana i carbon dioxide e komo pololei i loko o ka lepo a i ʻole ʻia e nā mea kanu, me ka ʻole o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana i ka lewa a i ʻole ka hopena ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
Hōʻike ʻia ka wai, hanu, ʻoluʻolu, māmā, ʻaʻole puhipuhi, maʻalahi e hoʻoheheʻe, ʻaʻohe mea ʻawaʻawa a ʻaʻole hoʻonāukiuki, waiwai i ka waihoʻoluʻu, hiki ke hana hou.
ʻO ka laweʻana i ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā lole i ulanaʻoleʻia i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me ke olakino ma keʻano he laʻana,ʻaʻole i hoʻokō pono nā lole lole PLA i ka palekana a me ka hoʻohana ponoʻana o nā mea hana palekana, akā, hāʻawi pū i ka huahana me nāʻano'ōmaʻomaʻo hou a me ka nohona. Ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana, hiki ke hoʻopau piha ʻia ma lalo o nā kūlana composting i loko o kekahi mau mahina, ʻaʻole wale me ke kaumaha ʻole o ke kaiapuni, akā ke komo pū kekahi i ke kahe kūlohelohe.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ka lole membrane polylactic acid kahi mea olaola hou me ka manaʻo lima palupalu, adsorption ikaika, paʻa mau, breathability a me bacteriostasis. He maʻemaʻe, palekana, olakino a kokoke i ka ʻili mea kiʻekiʻe. Loaʻa iā ia nā hiʻohiʻona olaola ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohālikelike i nā substrate ʻē aʻe, a he substrate kūpono no ka pale maka kiʻekiʻe.
