- 巴斯夫授权彤程新材料集团根据巴斯夫高质量标准生产和销售PBAT
- 上海新PBAT工厂产能为60 000吨
- 全球生物聚合物市场预计将以每年15%左右的速度增长
德国路德维希港/中国上海，2020年5月28日：巴斯夫与彤程新材料集团签署了一项联合协议，授权彤程新材料集团根据巴斯夫高质量标准生产和销售经认证可堆肥脂肪-芳香族共聚酯(PBAT)。为此，彤程新材料集团将在上海建造一座产能为60 000吨的PBAT工厂。该工厂将使用巴斯夫的工艺技术，出产的原材料将部分交由巴斯夫作为ecoflex®产品销售。新工厂将于2022年投产，供应全球生物聚合物市场。
全球经认证可堆肥和生物基塑料市场预计将以每年15%左右的速度增长。许多国家即将出台新的法律法规，强制在包装、农业地膜和袋类应用领域使用可堆肥材料。因此，该市场有望继续保持积极发展势头。巴斯夫全球特种聚合物业务单元负责人Olivier Ubrich表示：“在成功推出ecoflex®生物聚酯和创新型ecovio®产品后，巴斯夫已经在这个不断增长的市场中占有了一席之地。此次PBAT的新增产能将有力巩固我们的市场地位。彤程新材料集团致力于开发中国市场，拥有良好的营销网络和优越的地理位置，并长期与巴斯夫保持良好合作关系。因此，我们将其确定为首选合作伙伴。通过此次合作，双方将更加有效地满足客户需求，并在全球范围内拥有更高的交付灵活性。”
秉承“材料让地球更美好”的发展观，彤程新材料集团确立了“以创新和负责任的方式，推动新材料产业的可持续发展”的企业愿景。彤程新材料集团总裁周建辉表示：“作为一家富有社会责任感的公司，我们致力于为上游和下游绿色产业链提供帮助，并解决全球环境挑战。我们很荣幸能与巴斯夫合作，以创新的制造技术来部署先进的新材料。随着互联网进一步推进先进材料迅速发展的商机(如新的在线购买行为)，我们将共同开发中国的PBAT市场，促进新材料产业的发展。”
巴斯夫生物聚合物ecoflex®于1998年投入市场，并根据德国标准DIN EN 13432以及美国标准ASTM D6400认证为可堆肥产品。该产品可与其他再生原料混合，制成巴斯夫经认证的可堆肥生物基聚合物ecovio®。ecovio®含有再生原料，同样为部分生物基产品。ecovio®的典型用途为有机垃圾袋、保鲜膜、果蔬袋以及农业地膜和食品包装。研究表明，ecovio®在生产、包装和保质期以及食物垃圾收集方面具有优势。这些优势来源于该材料在工业和家庭堆肥以及土壤中经证明的可生物降解性：食物垃圾减少，通过更大量的堆肥将养分返回土壤，避免土壤中的塑料积聚，从而形成养分闭环，实现循环经济。

BASF and Red Avenue New Materials Group collaborate to produce certified compostable co-polyester (PBAT) in China
- BASF licenses Red Avenue New Materials Group to produce and sell PBAT according to high BASF quality standards
- New plant in Shanghai with 60,000 metric tons of PBAT
- Global market for biopolymers expected to grow by ca.15 percent per year
Ludwigshafen, Germany/Shanghai, China, May 28, 2020: BASF and Red Avenue New Materials Group have signed a joint agreement that grants Red Avenue New Materials Group the license to produce and sell certified compostable aliphatic-aromatic co-polyester (PBAT) according to high BASF quality standards. For that purpose, Red Avenue New Materials Group will build a 60,000 metric tons PBAT plant in Shanghai, using BASF`s process technology in exchange for the access to raw material from this plant which BASF will sell as ecoflex®. Production at the new plant will start in 2022 and supply the global market of biopolymers.
The global market for certified compostable and bio-based plastics is expected to grow by around 15 percent per year. With upcoming new laws and regulations in a lot of countries enforcing the use of compostable materials in packaging, agricultural mulch films and bag applications, the positive market development is expected to continue. “Our successful bio-polyester ecoflex® and the innovative ecovio® are already giving us significant participation in this growing market. The additional available PBAT capacities will substantially strengthen our position,” says Olivier Ubrich, head of BASF’s global business unit Specialty Polymers. “Due to Red Avenue’s commitment and network to develop the Chinese market, their strategically interesting location and their long-lasting good relationship with BASF, we have identified them as our preferred partner. The cooperation will allow us to meet our customers’ needs even more effectively and will increase our delivery flexibility globally.”
Adhering to its development concept of "Materials Make The Planet Better", Red Avenue New Materials Group has established the corporate vision of "Promoting The Sustainable Development of The New Materials Industry in An Innovative And Responsible Manner." Zhou Jianhui, President of Red Avenue New Materials Group, says: "As a company with strong social responsibilities, we are committed to providing our best help to our upstream and downstream green industry chains, as well as to solving the global environmental challenges. We are honored in cooperating with BASF to deploy cutting-edge new materials with innovative manufacturing technology. With rapidly growing business opportunities for advanced materials especially in the internet, e.g. by new consumer behavior, we will work together to develop the PBAT market in China and promote the development of the new materials’ industry."
The BASF biopolymer ecoflex® was introduced into the market in 1998 and is certified compostable in accordance with DIN EN 13432 and ASTM D6400. It is used as a blend with other renewable raw materials to compound ecovio®, BASF’s certified compostable biopolymer. The renewable raw material content means that ecovio® is also partly bio-based. Typical applications for ecovio® are organic waste bags, cling film, fruit and vegetable bags, as well as agricultural mulch films and food packaging applications. Studies show the advantages of ecovio® for production, packaging and shelf life as well as for the waste collection of food. These advantages are based on the material’s certified biodegradability in industrial and home composting as well as in soil: Food waste is reduced, nutrients are returned to the soil by means of greater volumes of compost and the accumulation of plastic in soil is avoided, thus closing the nutrient cycle to a Circular Economy.
