Trinseo and ETB to Collaborate on Development of Bio-Based 1,3 Butadiene
Companies to launch feasibility study for new pilot plant in Europe Trinseo (NYSE: TSE) and ETB have signed a letter of intent to collaborate on the development of purified bio-based 1,3-butadiene. This will see the two companies combine their respective technology and process expertise to accelerate the development of viable, renewably sourced material solutions.
Under the partnership, the companies will jointly explore opportunities to scale up ETB s unique single-stage process to produce bio-based 1,3-butadiene from ethanol using polyfunctional catalyst technology. The collaboration will initially focus on demonstrating the viability of sustainable ethanol-based synthetic rubber in support of green tire production. To underline this mutual commitment, Trinseo, with ETB s support, will conduct a feasibility study to explore the construction of a dedicated bio-based 1,3-butadiene pilot plant in Europe.

LG Chem Ltd. (Seoul, South Korea) has obtained ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) Plus for bio-balanced products produced from renewable plant-based raw materials such as waste cooking oil and palm oil. LG Chem received ISCC Plus certification on nine bio-balanced products, including SAP (superabsorbent polymer), PO (polyolefin), and PC (polycarbonate) compounds, which are both the first and the most certifications in Korea.
ISCC Plus is an international certification system that meets the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directives, the most stringent standards in the world, serving as the major authority in identifying the sustainability of eco-friendly bio products.
