2. Description of the Related Art Recently, the treatment of plastic waste has become a problem. The main treatment methods are incineration and landfill, but incineration has problems such as promotion of global warming and landfill has problems such as reduction of landfill sites. In addition, polylactic acid resins are being developed for various applications as next-generation plastics, and it is fully expected that in the near future, as with plastics currently used, waste problems will be highlighted.

[0003] Polylactic acid resin is a polymer that hydrolyzes in an aqueous system, and is currently used as a medical or pharmaceutical material. However, since it can be synthesized from renewable resources such as starch through lactic acid fermentation, environmental degradation occurs. It is attracting attention as a material for biodegradable plastics that can replace difficult general-purpose plastics. The polylactic acid resin includes poly (L-lactic acid), poly (D-lactic acid), poly (DL-lactic acid), or a copolymer with another polymer depending on the type of the constituent monomer.
