Sulzer has recently signed an agreement with major lactic acid (LA) producer, Jindan New Biomaterials (Jindan), to enable the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a biobased plastic. Jindan will utilize Sulzer\u2019s licensed PLA technology at its new manufacturing plant in Henan Province to produce up to 75\u2019000 tonnes of PLA per year, mainly to be used for food packaging, molded goods and fibers production. Sulzer will also provide extensive service support to ensure a seamless start.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling the transition to sustainable, circular practices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jindan\u2019s new bioplastic facility will produce PLA in a variety of grades to support the expanded use of bioplastics in several sectors in China, including the textile and package manufacturing industries. To enable the company\u2019s transition towards more sustainable, circular practices, Sulzer Chemtech will design and supply its key proprietary PLA technology, while further providing extensive engineering and technical support and field services as the manufacturer commences operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sulzer\u2019s Executive Chairwoman Suzanne Thoma<\/strong> said: \u201cOur leading technologies are currently used at the vast majority of existing PLA facilities worldwide and support the increased adoption of circular manufacturing practices and sustainable materials. We are pleased to collaborate with Jindan New Biomaterials to meet ever-increasing market demand for bioplastics.\u201d<\/p>

Mr. Shi Congliang, President of Jindan New Biomaterial<\/strong>, added: \u201cBy investing in Sulzer\u2019s PLA solutions, we are taking key, strategic steps to advance our competitiveness in the booming biopolymer industry and drive the use of greener plastics. Thanks to its comprehensive expertise in the PLA value chain and all the stages involved, Sulzer Chemtech is an extremely valuable partner. We look forward to installing the equipment and starting-up our enhanced operations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
