At present, PLA degradable straw is a very popular environmental protection straw, but many people do not know, what is PLA degradable straw, today we will take you to understand PLA degradable straw.

PLA biodegradable straw is made of a new bio-based and renewable biodegradable material called PLA, also known as polylactic acid. It is made from renewable starch resources such as corn and cassava. Starch is saccharified to glucose, then fermented to high-purity lactic acid by glucose and certain strains, and then synthesized by chemical synthesis of a certain molecular weight of polylactic acid. It has good biodegradability, and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature under certain conditions, eventually generate carbon dioxide and water, without polluting the environment. It is very beneficial to protect the environment and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.

PLA is also very stable, its thermal stability is good, processing temperature 170 ~ 230 C, has good solvent resistance, can be processed in a variety of ways, such as extrusion, spinning, biaxial stretching, injection blow molding. Besides biodegradability, the products made from PLA have good biocompatibility, gloss, transparency, handle and heat resistance, and also have certain bacterial resistance, flame retardancy and UV resistance.
