PTTMCC Facts & Figures

BioPBS™ Life cycle-From nature to nature

Joint venture of PTT Global Chemical& Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation

PTTMCC is dedicated to produce BioPBS™ with

20,000 Tons

annual capacity, plant based in Rayong

Thailand

BioPBS™ (bio-based polybutylene succinate) is revolutionary in its two-fold bio properties. It is both bio-based and biodegradable plastics, naturally decomposes into biomass, CO

2, H

2O

BioPBS™ has been used in wide range applications: Paper coating, Compounding, Synthetic fiber, Flexible and barrier packaging

Polymerization of

BioPBS™ has exclusive license from Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Patents.

BioPBS™ is the only bioplastic with revolutionary in its two-fold bio properties. It is both bio-based and biodegradable plastic, derived from corn and transform into BioPBS™ biopolymer which can be applied into

various applications. When end up either in the open-air landfill or marine environment, it will be gradually broken down into small pieces and becomes H2O, CO2, and Biomass to be used for BioPBS™ feedstock again and again.

Processability

Environmentally friendly

Over the last decade, the world’s population has dramatically increased, resulting in enormous quantity of plastic waste going into landfills and ocean. The analysis shows that by 2050* there could be more plastics than fish in the ocean by weight! Consequently, we are here to help you in providing outperform bioplastic which is rapidly compostable without facility. As a result there will be less and less plastic leaks into the ocean.
