Eco-friendly PLA-kenaf fibre biocomposite for food packaging

From a statistics accounted in 1999, 48% of plastic bottle that used is made from PET. Among them a huge percentage are end up as garbage and caused the landfills. This toxic waste pollutes our subsurface water label through leaching. PLA is a strong candidate to substitute conventional petrol...
