Plastic and Bioplastic made of Polylactid (PLA)

Plastic and Bioplastic made of Polylactid (PLA). Plastic and the environment. 300 million t plastic are produced per year. A European produce ca. 100kg plastic waste per year. Status 2016: 268.000 t p lastic swim at the ocean surface (≈ 5 billion plastic pieces ).

  1. Plastic and Bioplastic made ofPolylactid (PLA)

  2. Plastic and the environment 300 million t plastic are produced per year A European produce ca. 100kg plastic waste per year Status 2016: 268.000 t plastic swim at the ocean surface (≈ 5 billion plastic pieces)

  3. Reduction of plastic per year Fishingline 600 years Plastic bottle 450 years Plastic bag 1- 20 years

  4. Environmental problems Plastic decompose to micro plastic (< 5 mm)… Plastic islands …by solar radiation, waves, stream

  5. Deposit in the sediment (sea floor) Animals eat the plastic and die

  6. Plastic is harmful… • …because the reduction process is slow, like for example a fishing net made of nylon. • …because it consists of harmful substances like phtalate, which is a softener. • …because sea creatures absorb the micro plastic, but can not digest it. • …because POP´s (persistent organic pollutants) of the micro plastic store into the fat tissue, manipulate the hormonal system and is cancer-causing.

  7. Solution = bioplastic- Bioplastic of polylactid acid - PLA = polylactid acid/ polylactid • Has similarly quality like synthetic • Is bio-degradable and biocompatible • Is win of renewable resource, like maize or potatoes and so fossil raw material can be economized.
