[0002] Most commercially available Velcro is made of nylon or polyester, which offers excellent fastening properties. However, it is non-biodegradable. Medical Velcro, in particular, is non-biodegradable and must be incinerated after use, causing secondary pollution.

[0003] Previously, the inventors also designed PLA Velcro, but due to the lack of raw material specifications, the terry fibers were too fine, and they collapsed under heat and pressure during the processing. The strength of the Velcro produced did not meet the requirements and had low use value. Summary of the Invention
