New and innovative approach of Corbion Purac – 75 ktpa PLA production plant setup announcement

With growing presence in the bio-chemical industry, Corbion Purac has expressed its intentions to setup a production facility for 75 ktpa PLA in Thailand. In the earlier days and events, this company has supplied lactides to different PLA developers worldwide in the resin market however; the recent move of Purac really shows the grit to get into PLA production market.

As stated in http://greenchemicalsblog.com/2014/11/09/corbion-mulls-75-ktpa-pla-project/, the PLA resin market is greatly governed by a single volume supplier namely, NatureWorks which of course; poses a great threat to consumers when it comes to market competition and affordable pricing. Different customers are engaged with the business of bio-chemicals and degradable resins such as Method, PepsiCo, IBM and Intrexon that will now feel relaxed with this news that Purac is also willing to produce PLA on mass level.

Corbion has argued that the current market of biodegradables and resin needs another PLA supplier and it will expand the business with interested strategic partners so that future of resin market goes shining. This company already holds a stronger position in the supply of lactic acid with a specific heat technology, strengthening the future expansion of PLA uses and innovations.
