Mitsui & Dow Polychemicals starts marketing biomass ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and biomass low density polyethylene (LDPE) based on the mass balance method from September 1, 2024.Exhibits Same Properties as Petroleum-based Polymers
Biomass EVA and biomass LDPE have the same resin properties as conventional petroleum-derived products. This is because the raw material, biomass ethylene, exhibits the same physical properties as conventional petroleum-derived ethylene. Therefore, they can be easily switched from conventional products, while contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions over the entire product life cycle.
Since obtained ISCC PLUS certification at our Chiba Plant (Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture) in May 2024, the company has been preparing to start production and marketing of biomass EVA and biomass LDPE products.
