ʻO ka polylactic acid (PLA) he ʻano hou o nā mea biodegradable a hiki ke hoʻololi hou ʻia i hana ʻia mai ka starch i loaʻa mai nā kumu mea kanu hou e like me ka maile a me ka cassava. Ua loaʻa ka glucose mai ka starch ma o ka saccharification, a laila ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka waika lactic me ka maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe mai ka glucose a me kekahi mau kānana, a laila hoʻohui ʻia ka polylactic acid me kekahi kaumaha molekala e ka synthesis kemika. Loaʻa iā ia ka biodegradability maikaʻi a hiki ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia e nā microorganism i ke ʻano ma lalo o nā kūlana kikoʻī ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana, a ma hope e hoʻopuka ai i ke kalapona a me ka wai. ʻAʻole ia e hoʻohaumia i ke kaiapuni, he mea maikaʻi loa ia i ka pale ʻana i ke kaiapuni a ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he mea pili i ke kaiapuni.

Ua holomua kā mākou hui i kēia ʻano mea hou no kā mākou zippers. Ke hana nei mākou i kēia manawa PLA slider zipper, PLA string zipper a me PLA flange zipper no nā ʻano ʻeke PLA āpau.
