NatureWorks achieves breakthrough in bioplastics manufacturing process |
|
American bio-based plastics developer, NatureWorks LLC has achieved a
manufacturing breakthrough with its plant-based Ingeo™ plastics. As per
the company release, a new proprietary manufacturing process
commissioned late last year lowers CO2 emissions by 60% and reduces by
30% the energy required for production of Ingeo™ plastics compared to
previous manufacturing process. Compared to the process of
manufacturing PET (polyethylene terephthalate) which emits 3.4
kilograms of CO2 per kilogram of resin produced, the company claims
that new Ingeo™ manufacturing process emits 77% less, with 0.75
kilograms of CO2 per kilogram of resin.
