Nordic Bioproducts Group signs MOU with PTT for use of cellulosic fibers in bioplastic

In Finland, Nordic Bioproducts Group (NBG), a biomaterial innovation company and developer of pioneering AaltoCell Technology, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PTT MCC Biochem Company Limited (PTT MCC) headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. The partnership marks a significant milestone in the advancement of bioplastic technology and includes, for example, PTT MCC utilizing Nordic Bioproducts Group’s cellulosic fibers as an ingredient in its innovative bioplastic product called BioPBS.

The joint development project is focused on creating next-generation bioplastics, specifically new grades of BioPBS (Bio-Polybutylene succinate) that leverage Nordic Bioproduct Group’s biomaterial expertise and integrate its advanced cellulosic materials, such as its sustainable activated cellulose fibers. The cellulose can serve as a key component in the manufacturing process of bioplastics, effectively replacing petroleum-derived substances.
