PLA Degradable Staple Fiber - Plant-Based Raw Material for Sanitary Nonwoven Compostable Biodegradable
Our 1.4D*6MM biodegradable PLA short cut staple fiber is a professional ultra-short plant-based eco textile raw material, specially developed for the global green disposable nonwoven industry. Unlike ordinary petroleum-based polyester staple fiber, this fiber uses 100% renewable corn starch PLA polymer as its core raw material, abandoning traditional non-degradable plastic fiber formulas and achieving full life cycle carbon neutral production.
Specifications can be customized
Standard 1.4D fine denier provides soft, delicate, and fluffy fiber texture, avoiding the hard and rough feel of coarse denier degradable fibers. The fixed 6mm ultra-short cut design is the most popular specification for global nonwoven manufacturers, solving issues of uneven fiber length, excessive flying dust, and low web forming efficiency. Precise cutting craftsmanship ensures batch consistency with no length deviation for bulk container orders.
With inherent full biodegradable performance, finished nonwoven products completely decompose into natural organic matter after disposal, eliminating microplastic pollution and soil damage. This addresses the core issue of traditional disposable nonwoven products causing global white pollution, fully complying with EU plastic restriction policies and brand green production requirements.
This biodegradable short fiber features low shrinkage, high cohesion, and stable mechanical strength. It fits all needle punching nonwoven production lines without requiring extra process modifications. It supports pure spinning degradable nonwoven fabric and can also blend with other plant fibers to freely adjust fabric density and hardness. Natural white raw fiber supports deep dyeing and color matching for customized colored degradable nonwoven products.
Factory strict batch quality control stabilizes fiber strength, degradation index, and cutting size uniformity. Free samples are available for degradation testing and machine trial production. Factory direct bulk supply with stable stock and competitive wholesale pricing for global B2B textile manufacturers, nonwoven factories, and hygiene product producers.
