TotalEnergies Corbion\u00a0is stepping up its efforts in closing the recycling loop for PLA. To stimulate collecting, sorting, and cleaning of PLA waste and to facilitate a marketplace for PLA recycle streams,\u00a0TotalEnergies Corbion\u00a0is actively buying reprocessed PLA waste. The advanced recycling process allows for the PLA to be recycled back into Luminy\u00ae rPLA with the exact same properties and certifications as virgin Luminy\u00ae PLA.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, the success of advanced recycling of PLA is exemplified by the NaKu bottled water from Austria. The\u00a0NaKu bottle<\/a>\u00a0is made of 100% biobased plastic (PLA), it is therefore recyclable and compostable (according to EN 13432). The bottles, made of Luminy\u00ae PLA are 100% recyclable and contain 20% recycled content which is third-party certified by SCS Global Services.\u00a0After use the bottles are collected, sorted, cleaned and the resulting PLA is mechanically recycled into different applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Asia, another strong example of PLA recyclability is Sansu in Korea. Sansu bottles water in Luminy\u00ae PLA. After use the bottles are collected, sorted, cleaned and the resulting PLA is advanced recycled into Luminy\u00ae rPLA. Luminy\u00ae rPLA has the exact same mechanical properties, food contact and other certifications as virgin PLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt various jazz and music festivals in Korea PLA drinking cups are exclusively used. The cups are collected, sorted and send for advanced recycling in our plant in Thailand. This close loop concept is not new and with the advanced recycling that\u00a0TotalEnergies Corbion\u00a0has developed, this is now a reality\u201d said ChowPin Tan, Senior Business Development Director Asia Pacific at\u00a0TotalEnergies Corbion<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
