In Germany, TotalEnergies Corbion and Coexpan announced the launch of a PLA biobased cup using recycled PLA, available in both white and high transparency.
After completing all tests at Coexpan´s Innotech center, in Madrid, Spain, full validation was achieved for line speeds and output using FFS technology.
“We are very proud to include in our portfolio a new sustainable product that increases the number of technical solutions we can put on the market, a clear added value for all our customers,” said Gonzalo Sanchez, Coexpan recycling manager.
Derek Atkinson, Senior Director Sales and Business Development at TotalEnergies Corbion, said: “Providing PLA solutions to our customers with their existing technology is a priority for TotalEnergies Corbion. We have a team of specialized engineers to work with our partners and develop the right Luminy PLA grades. And we also buy back the used PLA to recycle it at our facilities. Advanced recycling of PLA is much more energy efficient process in comparison with other plastics. We appeal to all PLA users to get in touch and set up a collection structure.”
