Polylactide (PLA) parts can be crystallized via two procedures. In the first procedure, i.e. a 2-step post-mold annealing process, the complete crystallization of PLA parts can be done after molding in a secondary operation called as post-mold annealing to make higher heat-resistant PLA parts. There are limitations to this 2-step operation, namely, a) warpage of parts with complex geometries, and b) scaling up higher production volume times. In the second procedure, i.e. 1-step in-mold annealing process, the complete crystallization of PLA parts can be done in the mold itself by holding the temperature of the mold at the crystallization temperature of PLA which is about 100° C. The 1-step in-mold annealing process using a masterbatch blended with neat PLA results in a highly crystalline article produced in a significantly lower cycle time.

A method is provided for producing discrete three-dimensional cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure in a rotary forming mould system. The method includes providing an air-formed cellulose blank structure, wherein the cellulose blank structure is air-formed from cellulose fibres; transporting the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a the rotary forming mould system; feeding the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a position between a first mould part and a second mould part, and heating the air-formed cellulose blank structure; forming the three-dimensional cellulose products from the air-formed cellulose blank structure in the rotary forming mould system, by pressing the heated air-formed cellulose blank structure with a forming pressure.

A composite thermoformed tableware and preparation method thereof. The preparation method involves a preheating step, a compositing step and a thermoforming step in sequence; the preheating step heats multilayer forming materials at a temperature of 35° C. to 150° C., the forming materials have one or at least two of paper, plastic and inorganic layer; the compositing step involves stacking the preheated forming materials to form a composite material; the thermoforming step involves heat-pressing the composite material at a temperature of 80° C. to 150° C. and a pressure of 0.05 MPa to 0.5 MPa to form a three-dimensional body. The tableware is thermoformed by multiple layers of the same material or different materials, so that the thickness and strength of the tableware are higher.
