PET water bottles, specifically, are a significant source of pollution on the planet. Our Grand Challenge Initiative aims to lessen the environmental consequences caused by plastic bottles by finding an alternative. Polylactic acid (PLA), a bioplastic, shares similar characteristics to PET, making it a great potential substitute. In the past semesters, the attributes of Polylactic Acid were tested in two home experiments focusing on how PLA reacts to varying pH levels and different environmental conditions. Even more, a PLA water bottle prototype using a 3D modeling program, Tinkercad, was created and then brought to life using the Makerspace 3D printers. The results of the experiments were that PLA could withstand a broad spectrum of pH levels and environmental conditions. This project is very significant because it introduces replacing all PET water bottles with Polylactic acid, helping to protect the environment and promoting sustainability.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/gci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2021\/05\/34.Poster.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-605\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/gci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2021\/05\/34.Poster.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/gci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2021\/05\/34.Poster.pdf\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-604\">Polylactic Acid (PLA) Replacement to Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Water Bottles Poster<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veronica Warner, Haley Robertson, Gurleen Buttar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4165,"featured_media":734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Grand Challenges Initiative","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment-and-sustainability","category-grand-challenges-initiative","category-student-presentations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
