Biopolymer industry
In today’s rapidly evolving market, the demand for renewable and biodegradable materials is at an all-time high. As the market embraces cleaner materials, Sulzer Chemtech stands at the forefront of this transformation, offering proven and guaranteed technologies for the production of multiple grades of biobased and/or biodegradable polymers.
Our solutions not only help producers diversify their product portfolios towards greener plastics but also give them a competitive edge.
Main applications of biopolymer industry
Biobased & biodegradable polymers
- Polylactic acid (PLA), Polyethylene furanoate (PEF), Polycaprolactone (PCL)
Renewable feedstocks
- Sugar, Starches, Agricultural waste
Operating in today’s biopolymer sector means addressing multiple, interconnected challenges:
Operating in today’s chemical sector means addressing multiple, interconnected challenges:
Rising demand for renewable materials
Brand owners and regulators are pushing for renewable and biodegradable plastics. Producers need technologies that deliver consistent polymer grades at industrial scale.
Portfolio diversification
Moving towards greener plastics requires adaptable processes that can produce multiple grades of biobased and/or biodegradable polymers on the same platform.
Compostability and recyclability
Polymers such as PLA must meet industrial compostability and recyclability requirements, which demands tight control of monomer purity and polymer quality.
Proven technology at scale
Scaling a biopolymer process from pilot to commercial plant carries technical and financial risk. Proven, guaranteed technologies and lifecycle services reduce that risk.
Sulzer Chemtech offers proven and guaranteed technologies for sustainable polymer production, covering multiple grades of biobased and/or biodegradable polymers such as PLA, PEF and PCL. Our offering combines proprietary separation and reaction equipment, process know-how from monomer purification to polymerization, and a full range of services through the whole project cycle, from lab and pilot validation to engineering, skid-mounted supply and commissioning with performance guarantees.
