About

The growing plastic crisis demands sustainable solutions. This project targets biodegradable plastics from kitchen waste via optimized lactic acid (LA) production using statistical and AI models. Enhanced polymerization to poly lactic acid (PLA) will support 3D printing and mechanical optimization. It envisions a plastic circular economy with AI-driven grave-to-grave strategies.
