PLA plastic from cups

Precious Plastic Research about plastic

Amazing work you guys are doing! I’m happy I found out about this project.

I work with a LOT of PLA cups in my job.

Has anyone successfully made products from PLA plastic?

I read in another post that they had moisture issues since PLA is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture. Also that the cold molds caused thermal shock making the product brittle.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to work with PLA?

Thanks!

Interesting, PLA Cups!
I know for sure that PLA is used a lot for 3D printing, so you could make 3D printer fillament from it 🙂
