PLA bottle what is the status now? This article tells you

In 2008 on the basis of oil products of cosmetic to PET blooms and raw material prices plunged let everyone remember. In fact, everyone acknowledged that oil will run out someday. Now no one know when is the next time the oil price fluctuations, and no one know when the economy bottomed out, but as long as people continue to use petroleum products, oil prices will rise sooner or later. But cosmetic manufacturers don't want to wait until that day, they have been looking for bottles based on plant material. For most of the manufacturers, the cost is not the only factor, push them improve the packing of the change of the consumer market is also an important factor. PrimoWater companies in the United States, for example, has chosen the extracted from natural plant (poly (lactic acid) (PLA) PLA) Made of bottles, it is very suitable for the water. 'Consumers have accepted this kind of products, and sales of this product is in certain markets continues to grow,' explains ScottSteele PlasticTechnologies company vice President, is this company help Primo PLA bottles are developed. 'Made of local plant fiber filling bottles to the local water and only need short-distance transport. We have to overcome the technical difficulties, finally realizes the PLA is such a good solution. Now, we only need to see the market reaction. 'Primo company is a member of the club PLA application, the current in the cosmetic industry use PLA manufacturer is very little. Although the PLA has many advantages, but the first to use PLA bottles company in 2004 to restore the old packaging. European plastics association chairman Mr HaraldKaeb estimate, based on the plant fiber plastic accounted for 1% of all plastic. 'We can now produce 300000 tons of degradable plastics, and plastic production is 230 ~ 240 million tons. 'But Kaeb and others believe that the future of degradable plastics is optimistic. First, as mentioned earlier, the PLA and other degradable plastics and compared with oil production PET and other plastic, the price is more stable. In fact, with the increasing production of plant fiber plastic, prices will gradually decrease; Secondly, plant fiber plastic also has the characteristics of the sustainable development. When processing from the limited oil PET, the PLA has come from renewable corn starch or other plants. 'PLA material packing from renewable resources, its use can reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, is a kind of environmental protection material,' said Kaeb. PLA can be composting biodegradation, is the use of less land than PET waste landfill. Kaeb also said that people the final purpose is to use plant fiber, including label even cap, the bottles. But there are some difficulties in front. First, the need to set up a recycling system for recycling of PLA can compost; Second, the PLA also cannot provide high barrier property, especially for moisture, oxygen and carbon dioxide, and these material impact on the quality of carbonate cosmetic is significant. Still, there are more and more cosmetic manufacturer chose to plant fiber packing bottle. Glasbrenner estimates that in the past year, the usage of PLA cosmetic bottle probably grew by 75%. North American milk manufacturers NaturallyIowa company also adopted the PLA filling bottles of fresh milk and yogurt. In addition, another juice brand 'NobleJuice' also joined using PLA bottles. In other places, such as Italy, New Zealand and Australia have cosmetic manufacturer adopted this kind of packing. Kaeb says, now the PLA also exist in the production bottleneck, there is only one major producers, but that will soon change. 'Two or three years, this kind of situation will change, there will be more suppliers into the PLA in the market, at the same time also can have more users. 'Steele finally added,' today, biodegradable material is more expensive. But predictably, after 5 ~ 10 years, biodegradable material price must be cheaper than those of polymer resin extracted from oil, because the price of oil is certainly more expensive. As you can imagine, PLA cosmetic bottle into sooner or later. 'The (poly (lactic acid) (PLA) PLA) Polylactic acid ( PLA) Is produced by fermentation of lactic acid by artificial synthetic polymer, but still maintained good biocompatible and biodegradable. Polylactic acid ( PLA) Are similar to those of polyester and permeability, both are similar to those of polystyrene and glossiness, clarity, and processability, and provides more than polyolefin can a thermal resistance, low temperature can use melt processing technology, including spinning technology for processing. Polylactic acid ( PLA) Can be processed into all kinds of packaging materials, such as agriculture, construction with plastic material, film, as well as the chemical industry, textile industry with non-woven fabric, polyester, etc. Polylactic acid ( PLA) Energy consumption of traditional petrochemical products for the production of 20% ~ 50%, the carbon dioxide gas is only 50% of the corresponding. In addition to use as packing material, polylactic acid ( PLA) Can also become a drug package material, one of the research hot spot in tissue engineering material. Polylactic acid ( PLA) Can be made into non-toxic and cell adhesion can be growth of tissue engineering scaffold material.
