(\u201cOrigin,\u201d \u201cOrigin Materials,\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NASDAQ: ORGN, ORGNW), the world\u2019s leading\u00a0carbon\u00a0negative materials company with a mission to enable the world\u2019s transition to sustainable materials, and Sustainea Bioglycols (\u201cSustainea\u201d), a joint venture between Braskem (NYSE: BAK) and Sojitz Corporation, today announced a strategic partnership centered on advanced bio-based materials produced using Origin\u2019s technology platform and Sustainea\u2019s bio-based glycol products and market expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the partnership, Sustainea signed two multi-year capacity reservation agreements to purchase renewable chemicals from&nbsp;Origin Materials, including bio-based PTA and bio-based FDCA. PTA is a fundamental feedstock for a broad variety of market applications, including PET polyester packaging, textiles, clothing, plastics, car parts, tires, carpeting, and toys. FDCA is a raw material whose commercial applications include surfactants, epoxy resins, and the next-gen polymer PEF (polyethylene furanoate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Sustainea, a joint venture formed by two innovative global companies: Braskem, the largest thermoplastic resin producer in the\u00a0Americas\u00a0and a global pioneer in biopolymers, and Sojitz, a\u00a0Japan-oriented global trading company with wide-ranging market networks and a strong presence in Asia,\u201d said <strong>Origin Materials Co-CEO\u00a0Rich Riley<\/strong>. \u201cThrough Sustainea, Braskem and Sojitz aim to be the global leader in bioMEG production. Since bioMEG and bio-PTA are both necessary for making 100% bio-based PET, we are strongly aligned to create a low-carbon\u00a0future for polymers, including bio-PET and advanced bio-based polymers integrating FDCA. We are excited about this powerful strategic partnership on the cutting edge of renewable materials.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin expects to produce bio-based FDCA and bio-based PTA using its patented technology platform, which turns the&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;found in sustainable wood residues into useful products while capturing&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe are very excited to join forces with Origin on the pathway to a low\u00a0carbon\u00a0future,\u201d stated\u00a0<strong>Gustavo Sergi, CEO of Sustainea<\/strong>. \u201cBringing to the market bioMEG and bioPET has always been our ambition and the partnership with Origin represents an important step towards this goal. The polyester and PET markets grow 3.5 million tons every year, so we have an important mission to develop our operation to supply the industry as soon as possible. From textiles to bottles, our bioMEG and bioPET will be there to be quickly absorbed by the market as a drop-in solution. Finally, these biopolymers are not only bio-based but also fully recyclable. This will contribute to a circular economy and to the reduction of CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About\u00a0Origin Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in\u00a0West Sacramento,\u00a0Origin Materials\u00a0is the world\u2019s leading\u00a0carbon\u00a0negative materials company. Origin\u2019s mission is to enable the world\u2019s transition to sustainable materials. For over a decade, Origin has developed a platform for turning the\u00a0carbon\u00a0found in inexpensive, plentiful, non-food biomass such as sustainable wood residues into useful materials while capturing\u00a0carbon\u00a0in the process. Origin\u2019s patented technology platform can help revolutionize the production of a wide range of end products, including clothing, textiles, plastics, packaging, car parts, tires, carpeting, toys, fuels, and more with a\u00a0~$1 trillion\u00a0addressable market. In addition, Origin\u2019s technology platform is expected to provide stable pricing largely decoupled from the petroleum supply chain, which is exposed to more volatility than supply chains based on sustainable wood residues. Origin\u2019s patented drop-in core technology, economics and\u00a0carbon\u00a0impact are supported by a growing list of major global customers and investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Sustainea Bioglycols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Sustainea is a dynamic and innovative company focused on sustainable chemistry. Established as a joint venture between\u00a0Braskem\u00a0and Sojitz Corporation, Sustainea is a company born with the desire to be the global leader in bio-MEG and transform the bottles and textiles market through innovation in renewable chemicals, generating a positive impact for everyone. Sustainea\u2019s business plan includes the construction of three industrial plants with annual production capacity of 700,000 tons of bio-based MEG, with the startup of the first plant in 2027.
