technology
PLA
Polylactic acid — fermentable-sugar-derived polyester (Ingeo, Luminy, REVODE), industrially compostable.
Where it's used
Bioplastic optics & optical films
Optical-grade lenses, displays and polarizing/structural-color films from renewable biopolymers — cellulose nanocrystals, PLA and isosorbide bio-polycarbonate — replacing petroleum PMMA and PC in electronics and security optics.
Biopolymers & bioplastics (PLA, PHA, PBAT & bio-PE/PP)
Bio-based and biodegradable polymers — PLA, PHA, PBAT and drop-in bio-PE/PP — from sugarcane, corn and plant oils: a value chain from fermentable sugars to certified-compostable packaging, fibers and 3D-printing resins.
