Iranpolymer\/Baspar <\/strong><\/em>In 2015,\u00a0when the\u00a0Paris Agreement\u00a0was\u00a0uniting\u00a0the world to take action to reduce the effects of climate change, two forward-thinking companies joined forces to help meet that goal in the polymer sector.\u00a0TotalEnergies and Corbion\u00a0embarked on a mission to\u00a0replace conventional plastic with\u00a0a bioplastic solution that\u00a0is\u00a0versatile, familiar to consumers and better for the planet.<\/p>\n

TotalEnergies Corbion, the resulting business,\u00a0is\u00a0working across the entire value chain to\u00a0drive\u00a0innovation and foster sustainable practices. Ensuring\u00a0its range of Luminy\u00ae Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics both\u00a0meets market needs\u00a0and\u00a0contributes\u00a0to a healthier planet, by significantly reducing dependency on conventional plastics produced by finite, non-renewable resources. Luminy\u00ae PLA is created with carbon captured from the atmosphere through the growth of sugarcane, and stored in PLA products until their end of life, which is industrial composting if not previously recycled.<\/p>\n

There is an\u00a0urgent need\u00a0to address plastic pollution.\u00a0It\u00a0is severely impacting lands, waters and ecosystems and there are alarming reports surfacing about microplastics found in human tissues, including brains. That is why the Plastics Treaty is so high on the United Nations (UN) agenda. It\u00a0is a clear call to action\u00a0and\u00a0the\u00a0Luminy\u00ae PLA bioplastics\u00a0range is an important part of the solution.<\/p>\n

Every\u00a0business, in every industry, has to adapt if all are going to limit the catastrophic effects of climate change. One of the major\u00a0challenges businesses face is\u00a0decarbonizing their supply chains. It is where\u00a0up to 90% of their emissions originate\u00a0and it is abundantly clear the innovation needed can only come from wide-spread collaboration and co-ordination in pursuit of the common goal.<\/p>\n

That is why the approach is firmly based on working with customers, partners, peers and policy\u00a0makers. Working together means accelerating collectively\u00a0the development of sustainable solutions and contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Partnerships across industries and sectors allow them to pool their resources, share knowledge and leverage their collective expertise to drive meaningful change on a global scale.<\/p>\n

Transforming Industry Standards with Luminy\u00ae PLA<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the key roles is to set new benchmarks for the industry with their\u00a0biobased, recyclable and industrially compostable PLA. Their\u00a0Luminy\u00ae PLA resins can offer\u00a0more than a 75%\u00a0reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics. Importantly, PLA bioplastics do not leave persistent microplastics, as shown in the\u00a02024 meta study\u00a0by HYDRA Marie Sciences. This makes PLA an ideal solution aligned with the UN Plastic Treaty\u2019s objectives to eliminate plastic waste and pollution, while promoting circularity.<\/p>\n

If it is going to\u00a0tackle plastic pollution effectively,\u00a0the Plastics Treaty has to prioritize investments in industrial composting, recycling infrastructure and technology. This includes supporting the development of advanced composting facilities and recycling techniques capable of processing a wide range of plastic materials, including PLA bioplastics. This is an essential part of managing plastic waste sustainably and reintegrating these materials back into the economy.<\/p>\n

Their commitment to a sustainable future\u00a0<\/strong>through\u00a0<\/strong>innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, they invest a part of their net profit\u00a0in\u00a0innovation. Their entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to innovation enable them\u00a0to keep developing unique application offerings. They are already transforming everyday products in six critical market segments, which include products as diverse as packaging and automotive components. But they are not stopping there. While they continue working with partners across the value chain to improve current products, they are also constantly looking for new ways bioplastics can make positive impacts on environment. Can you imagine a world where all conventional plastics and materials would be replaced by products based on regenerative crops such as sugar cane?<\/p>\n

To bring this to life,\u00a0it is imperative they\u00a0continue their collaboration and innovation across the value chain, developing new and more sustainable products, and prioritizing investments in industrial composting and recycling infrastructure. That way, they can begin to reduce plastic pollution, and advance towards a truly sustainable and circular economy.<\/p>\n
