The partnership would enable the Korean chemical company to produce eco-friendly resins from Neste’s biomaterials, and hence would enable the company to achieve its required sustainability standards. With this strategic move, LG Chem plans to start the production of bio-based Polyolefin (PO), Polycarbonate (PC), Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) by the second half of 2021 (H2-2021) at its home market Korea. The two parties are eyeing on huge impact over the global chemical industry through this supreme combination of LG Chem’s proprietary technology and diverse chemical portfolio with Neste’s environment sustainability solutions based on renewable hydrocarbons.
