TotalEnergies Corbion (TEC) produces Luminy® Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biobased, compostable and recyclable polymer, derived from sugarcane in Thailand. PLA, made from biobased feedstock, has a 85% lower carbon footprint compared to conventional polymers including its biogenic carbon. The carbon in Luminy® (PLA), known as biogenic carbon, comes from atmospheric CO2 captured by sugarcane plants. At the end of its life, when incinerated or composted, this carbon is released back into the atmosphere, maintaining a neutral carbon balance.

On top of the biobased benefits of Luminy®, TotalEnergies Corbion is recycling PLA waste from industrial origin and closed loop post-consumer systems via hydrolysis producing new Luminy® (PLA) with recycled content maintaining the quality and regulatory compliance.

TotalEnergies Corbion conducted an updated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of both virgin and recycled PLA, highlighting the significant contribution of biogenic carbon to global warming potential. Despite the lack of consensus on modeling biogenic CO2 in LCA, this assessment being ISO14040, 14044 and 14067 compliant demonstrates the benefits of biobased and recycled biobased polymers. The LCA results confirm the progress towards a reduced climate change impact from the plastic industry. In fact, the climate change impact of Luminy® rPLA with 30% recycled content is zero and becomes negative with higher recycled content.

Using Luminy® PLA and even more recycled Luminy® PLA in durable applications like cards plays a significant role in reducing the global warming impact of material production.
