Conversion of Food Waste into Poly(Lactic Acid) Fibre

Conversion of food waste into polylactic acid fibre (PLA) - Gold medal with jury’s commendation of the 44 International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva
This is a novel biological process using food waste as the raw material to produce PLA fibre. The technology uses a fermentation process to yield lactic acid. This is then polymerized and spun into fibre. PLA is biodegradable and so the final textile product will degrade to H20 and CO2 after its useful life.
