PLA self-reinforced composite project wins bioplastics award.

The article reports that Bio4Self, a European project to develop self-reinforced composites (SRPC) based on polylactic acid (PLA) fibres, has won the Global Bioplastics Award. It mentions that the the project has produced easily recyclable SRPC materials that are designed for high mechanical strength and rigidity with high temperature. It informs that the materials demonstrate the potential of PLA for use in more technical and and household electronics.
