Formulators and compounders working with Luminy® polylactic acid (PLA) can plan for a pricing update from TotalEnergies Corbion, effective July 24, 2026. According to the supplier, sustained increases in the cost of key raw materials, energy, packaging, and logistics, driven by geopolitical disruption across global supply chains that has shown no sign of easing, are the basis for the adjustment.

Increase in raw material and energy costs due to geopolitical events
TotalEnergies Corbion reports that productivity gains have partially offset these cost increases. Continued pressure on raw material, energy, packaging, and logistics costs has led the company to ask customers to share part of the increase through updated pricing. The supplier states that its priority remains consistent, premium-quality products and services for customers.

Immediate effect: The pricing increase applies to Luminy® PLA as of 24 July 2026.
