Average molecular weight number (M_n) and dispersity (Đ) were determined by refractive index gel permeation chromatography (GPC); values include a 0.58 correction factor.³⁴

Melting point (T_m) of PLA waste samples was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); NatureWorks values were taken from the product’s datasheet.
