Contributing to CO2 reduction with properties equivalent to conventional products! What are the benefits of mass balance bio-based plastics?
The mass balance method (i.e., material balance method) is a concept applied in various industries such as paper and plastics. It is a technique used when manufacturing products by mixing raw materials with and without certain characteristics, where a portion of the produced product is assigned the characteristics based on the amount of the raw material with those characteristics that is inputted. Reasons why mass balance method biomass plastics are expected: ○ Equivalent physical properties to conventional products Since there is no difference in physical properties compared to conventional products, they can be used while maintaining existing equipment and processing conditions. ○ 100% biomass ratio Biomass plastics produced using the mass balance method can be considered to have a 100% biomass ratio. ○ Possibility of obtaining eco-mark certification In September 2022, it was announced that eco-mark certification could also be obtained for biomass plastics produced using the mass balance method. ○ Expectations for increased raw material volume and supply stability Current production is said to be around 600,000 to 700,000 tons per year, and it is expected to potentially double or more in the next five years, making it a promising option for stable supply of bioplastics.
