...s and carrier bags made from its novel starch blends, is also penetrating into Europe. The compounder FKuR has doubled its processing capacity for the production of mixtures of PLA with other polyesters to 7,000t/a. Mirel, a joint venture of the US company Metabolix and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), is currently building a 50,000t plant for the PHA polyester, produced by bacteria from sugar. It is planned to come on stream next year. After a successful IPO, Plantic of Australia has invested subs...

...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 obtained with the aid of bacteria from corn sugar and other renewable raw materials. Tianan Biologic calls itself the world’s largest producer of PHBV, a valerate of PHA. Its current production capacity will double this year,...

...off GmbH, of Höxter, Germany, or Victor Güthoff & Partner GmbH of Frechen, Germany, have successfully specialized in biobags. Starch materials are not the only ones used. Mirel-PHA types suitable for films also became available recently. Even relatively brittle PLA can be used to produce carrier bags by compounding it appropriately. Cerestar of El Segundo, USA, announced in May that it would set up the production of starch materials in Assisi, Italy. Bio-based polyolefins and PET: The curren...
Kunststoffe international, 2014-08-19, Sustainable Solution for Coloration of Bioplastics
.... Formulations specially tailored to customer requirements are also possible. Temperature tests have shown a heat resistance of up to 150 °C for 5 min, which is sufficient for film extrusion of bioplastics from the PHA family (e. g. Mirel from Metabolix Inc., Cambridge, MA/USA) to produce items such as disposable or multi-trip plastic bags (Fig. 2). However, this colorant class cannot withstand the processing temperatures in masterbatch production (about 200 °C and more).At Low TemperaturesThe b...
