...mily-owned Rodenburg emphasized, thus does not compete with food production. NatureWorks was also represented at the Interpack. The company pointed out that NatureWorks PLA will now be sold exclusively under the brand name Ingeo to make it easier to differentiate between the company and its product. Telles, the manufacturer of raw biopolymers, is a joint venture between Metabolix Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). It manufactures Mirel, a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). PHA is ob...

...oaches to conserving the environment and finding alternatives to plastics. They are already available. Avoidance: “Onto the Plate or into the Closet” NatureWorks of Minnetonka, MN, USA, markets a plant-based polymer called Ingeo [7], which can be used to produce containers, films, textiles and equipment housings, through to disposable dishes. Ingeo is made from plant sugar (polylactic acid, PLA), and the end products can be composted or disposed of conventionally. Biowert is a company from Odenw...

...fresh milk products in renewable raw materials. The leading producer of biopolymer polylactide is NatureWorks LLC of Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA, that markets its PLA under the brand name Ingeo. Its annual capacity of 140,000 t makes NatureWorks LLC the world’s largest PLA producer. A second PLA plant in planning for Asia is intended to supply the growing demand for PLA. For the seventh time now, NatureWorks presented the variety of Ingeo products in a new version of its Ingeo Earth Month Look Bo...

...ing on the concept of “bio plus recycling”. Not only is Danone using semi-biobased PET for the plastic bottles of its Volvic affiliate, but BioPE for the plastic bottles containing its yogurt drink, Actimel, as well, and Ingeo PLA (polylactic acid) for its Activia brand yogurt (Fig. 2). Both are very successful, wellknown brands of yogurt. For the chemical process envisaged to recycle PLA – hydrolysis to the monomer and repolymerization – the corresponding logistics and infrastructure still have...

...molding should be a maximum of 0.01 wt.-% and maximum 0.025 wt.-% prior to extrusion.” The moisture limit of 100 ppm (0.01 wt.-%) is consistent with the recommendations which Nature Works makes in its technical datasheet for the Ingeo 3251D injection molding grade [2] studied in this article if a reduction in viscosity due to material degradation is to be avoided. For drying down to the residual moisture content recommended for processing, the datasheet contains drying curves for different tempe...

... competitiveness of PLA has been significantly improved. NatureWorks LLC, Blair, Nebraska, USA, a joint venture between Cargill and PTT Global Chemical Public Company Ltd., Bangkok, Thailand, markets PLA under the brand name Ingeo (Title picture) and has been producing PLA since 2002 at a facility in Blair with a capacity of 140,000 t/a. A second plant is to be built in Thailand [12]. At the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, PlantBottle technology is being developed (Fig. 3) [13]. By usi...

In this series of studies, the comparison of the simulation with reality is performed exemplary based on polylactide (PLA) Ingeo 3052D (manufacturer: Nature Works LLC, Minnetonka, MN/USA). Before processing, it was dried to a water content of below 200 ppm. On one hand, PLA is one of the most widely used bioplastic grades, on the other, the properties, such as shrinkage a...
