Bluepha Co. Ltd (“Bluepha”), the leading synthetic biology company in China, and TotalEnergies Corbion, a global leader in PLA technology, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to accelerate the market adoption of PLA\/PHA-based solutions in China. The collaboration aims to bring together the expertise and resources of both companies to further advance the development of high-performance biopolymer solutions, combining Bluepha\u00ae Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) with Luminy\u00ae Polylactic Acid (PLA) technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are very excited about this collaboration with TotalEnergies Corbion,” said Dr. Teng Li, President & Co-founder of Bluepha<\/strong>. He continued: “TotalEnergies Corbion is a trustworthy partner and Bluepha\u00ae PHA mixed with Luminy\u00ae PLA would be as a Chinese saying \u2018Adding wings to the tiger\u2019. Together, the two companies can give more opportunities to our downstream partners and contribute to a more sustainable future.”<\/p>

“By combining the complementary properties of these materials, we will significantly expand the application possibilities for brand owners seeking fully biobased material solutions,” said Thomas Philipon, CEO of TotalEnergies Corbion<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Under the terms of the MOU, Bluepha and TotalEnergies Corbion will jointly promote PLA and PHA market applications in China. Before the MOU signing ceremony, Thomas Philipon took a tour of the Bluepha PHA Biorefinery, which completed construction in October 2022 in Yancheng and recently began production of the Bluepha\u00ae PHA product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Bluepha<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bluepha is a purpose-driven company dedicated to molecular and material innovation based on synthetic biotechnology founded in 2016. We built our own specialized biology automation platforms to engineer microorganisms as a new way to design and manufacture molecules and materials that can provide better solutions to global sustainability and carbon neutrality. Bluepha\u00ae PHA is our first commercialized product, a type of biobased and biodegradable polymer made from annually renewable resources, offering a reduced carbon footprint versus conventional plastics. It has been put into commercial-scale production following the inauguration of a new production facility since 2022, BioFAB1, in Yancheng, with the capacity to produce 5,000 tonnes of Bluepha\u00ae PHA resins annually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
