FUTERRO is delighted to announce the launching of our first fully integrated PLA plant. It is the result of 30 years of work dedicated to the development of cutting-edge technology for the production, use and recycling of bioplastics.
Located in the city of Bengbu (China), the brand-new PLA unit has a capacity of 30,000 tons/year being supplied by a Lactic Acid unit with a capacity of 80,000 tons.
The new lactic acid and PLA units incorporate new patented technologies that allow the production of high-quality products at competitive costs.
The Plastics Recycling Show is a pan-European, exhibition, conference and awards designed specifically for plastics recycling professionals. It brings together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors to showcase innovative technology, share best practice, network and do business. A broad cross-section of the industry is represented at the event including plastics recycling machinery and equipment suppliers, plastic material suppliers and compounders, pre-processors, plastics recyclers, waste management specialists and industry associations.
Futerro will attend Kunststoffenbeurs in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands on the 14th and 15th of September. Our company will be in Hall 3, in the Sustainability & Recycling Area, stand 381.
The focus of this year's exhibition is on “Future Proof Plastics – Innovative, Sustainable and Smart”. This fits in perfectly with Futerro's objectives, for which innovation and sustainability have been part of our DNA since our creation.
Futerro, Belgian company specialised in the production of lactic acid, lactide (two platform molecules) and PLA (polylactic acid), has launched the engineering and the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) – called “Avant-Projet Détaillé” in French – for its future European biorefinery to be located at Saint-Jean-de-Folleville between Rouen and Le Havre (76).
Futerro is invited to assist the 5th European Congress on Eco-plasturgy and sustainable, intelligent, and safe plastic materials organized by Polymeris.
Futerro will attend the 7th PLA World Congress in Munich, Germany, organized by the Bioplastics Magazine. Geoffroy Delvinquier (Business Development & Marketing Manager) will give a presentation about “PLA integrated supply chain & life cycle management”.
