A Fraunhofer ICT concept for expanded polylactic acid (EPLA) foam safety helmet. EPLA is roughly equivalent to the price of expanded polypropylene (EPP), but more expensive than expanded polystyrene (EPS).
Injection moulded reusable food packaging made with Arweco polylactic acid (PLA) filled with oat husks, a byproduct of farming. The use of bio-based additives is enhanced by the use of Polytives additives, which helps by reducing the temperature and pressure required in moulding.
