Climate Change and Its Impacts
Yarn sample
・30/2 PLA 100%
biomass ＝ carbon neutral
Although it emits CO2 both in production and in incineration, it emits about 43% less CO2 than polyester.
Furthermore, CO2 is absorbed through photosynthesis during the cultivation of sugar cane to make PLA.
As long as the same amount of sugar cane continues to be cultivated, virtually no CO2 is added.
It is possible to circulate CO2 in a shorter cycle than forests.
Features of "PlaX", a Next-generation PLA Resin
In addition to fibers, bioplastics are understood to be environmentally friendly, but they are difficult to handle and unfortunately are not used in many fields.
For example, in injection molding, conventional modified polylactic acid (PLA) can hardly crystallize, and the only way is to slow down the cooling rate (increase the cooling time). On the other hand, PlaX with Bioworks' additives has succeeded in significantly increasing the crystallization speed through a completely new crystallization promotion mechanism. As a result, it can be processed in the same molding cycle as general purpose resins. Also, it can be molded in molds at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius, which allows water temperature to be controlled, so it can be used at any manufacturing facility.
"The PlaX"technology will enable a wider range of applications, including films and molded products other than fibers.

Robust data
Antimicrobial resistance data
Deodorant property data
Since the fiber is made from plastic resin made from plants, the ph is weakly acidic compared to petroleum resin, and the raw material itself has deodorant and antibacterial properties without the use of chemicals.
A next generation PLA fiber that is more friendly to the environment and people is now available.
