Abstract
D&D Intelligence, has developed an innovative biopolymer for packaging, electrical equipment, automotive, home and office accessories, etc. Our project aims to perform a new biocomposite using PLA and alfa fibers: PLA: • Polyacide lactic: a biopolymer produced from corn. • Alfa: a wildly plant very abundant in the desert of North Africa (4Mt/year) It associates innovation and sustainability: • Less waste: biodegradable. • Less resources depletion: alfa fibers culture does not necessitate human intervention. • Cost reduction. • Social employment. • Partnership from Europe and North Africa. • A good aspect. • New markets: packaging, home and offices decoration,…. • A patented solution. • LCA performed: less impacts on the environment. Our paper presents 5BIOP specifications and environmental characteristics.
