Hoshino presents the FD-300, an USB flash drive that is Bio-degradable. The drive is made of polylactide (PLA), which uses annually renewable plant resources, such as corn, as raw material.
Followed by the process of dehydration polymerization, high-temp depolymerization, refining and finally polymerization, lactic acid is then transformed to PLA. Its products can be degraded to carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms in the soil after use and do no harm to the environment .
