  • BioPET in automobiles features enhanced heat and shrink resistance, durability performance

      01/01/1900
    By weight, PET consists of 70% terephthalic acid and 30% monoethylene
    glycol. Bio-PET is made by replacing monoethylene glycol (MEG) with a
    raw material derived from sugar cane. Toyota plans to replace 20% (by
    weight) of all oil-based plastics for cars with bio-plastics by 2015,
    amounting to approximately 360,000 tons of bio-plastics. The Bio-PET
    may be used in seats and carpeting and other interior components that
    require a high level of performance unattainable by previously available
    bioplastics. The opening of Braskem plant in Brazil is speeding
    Toyota’s use of bioplastics. The Japanese major has committed to buy 40%
    of the output of Braskem’s new 200,000 tpa ethylene from sugar.
