| Abstract | Currently, the issues related to environmental pollution with plastics are a major concern. Agriculture is a vital area for human existence, but it generates large amounts of plastic waste. These result from agricultural practices that use systems and support materials which help facilitate the work of farmers and offer a better yield of production and quality of crops, in relation to the smaller areas of agricultural land. An alternative can be the use of sustainable textiles that can bring multiple benefits to the agricultural sector, including: pollution reduction, biodegradation potential, reduced consumption of agricultural inputs like pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and water, high retention potential for water and good ventilation, increased productivity and quality for the agricultural crops, etc. First of all, this paper discusses the potential use of bio-based and eco-friendly polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA), in the form of fibres for the production of non-woven textile structures that can be used as a support element in agricultural practices and for the replacement of conventional plastics obtained from oil resources. Secondly, considering the advantage of the biodegradation property of this material, the durability and the influence of the location depth in a degrading natural environment such as soil, were the target of experiments to highlight the positive aspects of polylactic acid use in the context of the circular economy. To demonstrate the proposed objectives, different physico-mechanical analyses were performed to determine the morphological characteristics of the fibres, the tensile strength, the material thickness and the possible loss of mass due to microbial activity. |
