Sikwimpelaveki kwaye, ngaphambi kokuvalelisa kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezisahleli ngeCawa, lixesha lokuba uthethe ngesivumelwano phakathi kwenkampani yaseDatshi iCorbion kunye nenkampani yeoyile yaseFrance Total ngokwentengiso kunye nentengiso yehlabathi yeplaya yePLA, ethi namhlanje ifunyanwe kwiimveliso zezityalo ezinje ngesitatshi sombona okanye ummoba kwaye, ngenxa yendalo, ithoba indalo kwindalo esingqongileyo.
Le plastiki yenziwe ngamachiza e-lactic acid kwikhonkco le-polymer. Ngenxa yeepropathi zayo ithandwa kakhulu kule minyaka idlulileyo enkosi kwinto yokuba inokusetyenziswa kunye neziqinisekiso ezikumgangatho ophezulu kwaye ngaphezulu kwako konke ekusebenziseni kwayo kubaprinta be-3D bohlobo lwe-FFF (ukwenziwa kwentsimbi etyhidiweyo) okanye uhlobo lwe-FDM (imodeli yokunyibilikiswa kokutyibilika) ukusukela, njengoko usazi ngokuqinisekileyo, phantse akukho unesifo esoyikekayo 'ukujija'ngelixa ungadingi isiseko sokwakha esishushu.
ICorbion kunye neTotal iyakwenza umzi-mveliso omtsha weplastiki wePLA eThailand.
Kananjalo, njengoko bekuxoxiwe kupapasho lweendaba olukhutshwe ziinkampani zombini, enye yezona zinto zinomtsalane ekusebenziseni iplastikhi yePLA kuzo zonke iintlobo zeenkampani ezibandakanya ukuvelisa kwe-3D kwimigca yazo yemveliso, yayikukuba, enkosi ukukwazi ukwenza i-biodegrade, yanikezela ngokudibanisa 'uxanduva lwezendaloethande ukuthandwa kakhulu, ngakumbi lelona lizwe likhulu.
Ngokubhekisele kwisivumelwano ekufikelelwe kuso, kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba bobabini uCorbion kunye noTotal bavumile ukwakha umzi-mveliso omtsha kumaziko eCorbion eThailand ngomthamo wemveliso weetoni ezingama-75.000. Eli phulo lidibeneyo liya kuba ngama-50% kwinkampani nganye kwaye ikomkhulu layo eNetherlands. Njengeenkcukacha zokugqibela, kufanele ukuba kuqatshelwe ukuba imisebenzi kulindeleke ukuba iqale kwangoko ku-2017.
