saw the rise of necessity in the textile industry that demanded change in the use of textiles. PLA (Polylactic Acid) fiber production appears to be one of the most interesting developments in this area. Formed out of raw materials like corn starch or sugar cane, PLA fibres are considered a breakthrough in the manufacture of biodegradable textiles. In this light, the article reviews the benefits and the aspects that are involved in PLA fiber production and how this fiber is revolutionizing the textile industry. Wavelengths are slowly optimizing to the effects of the environmental hazards and therefore nowadays there is a shift in the market patterns for PLA polymer anti-fibrillation fibers.
The biopolymer Thomsen identifies as the starting point for PLA fiber production is the fermentation of renewable resources to produce lactic acid and converting this lactic acid into a PLA polymer. It involves converting renewable resources to related products of sugar in polymking lactic acid. This biodegradable polymer can be manufactured into fibers with remarkable benefits as compared to fibers made from petroleums. In addition to the biodegradable and compostable conditions of PLA, its relative miles’ production is also relatively lower than many fiber economies. These properties enhance the usability of the product for the producers as well as the consumers.
PLA fibers are being used in a growing number of applications, including clothing and textiles. The development of bio-based textiles is due to the rapid growth of the sustainable fashion movement and the expansion of eco-friendly brands. In accordance with the industry’s development, PLA fiber manufacturing is also expected to contribute to the investigation of sustainability targets and mitigating the environmental burden of textile production.
