-SK Geo Centric commercializes biodegradable plastic through collaboration with Kolon Industries
SK Geo Centric, the chemical wing of battery maker SK Innovation, commercialized a biodegradable plastic called polybutylene adipate terephthalate through collaboration with Kolon Industries, a chemical and textile manufacturing company in South Korea.
Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is a petroleum-based biodegradable plastic that rapidly degrades through enzyme reactions with oxygen, heat and light. Unlike regular plastic products which take about 100 years to decompose, 90 percent of a PBAT product degrades naturally when buried.
PBAT is widely being used in eco-friendly products such as agricultural vinyl and disposable bags. To commercialize the petroleum-based biodegradable plastic, SK Geo Centric and Kolon Industries have launched a joint research project in 2020.
SK Geo Centric said in a statement on December 22 that the company will supply raw materials of PBAT to Kolon Industries. SK Geo Centric is the only South Korean company that produces “1,4-butanediol,” a chemical compound that is used as the main raw material of PBAT. Using SK Geo Centric’s raw materials, Kolon Industries will produce PBAT at its plant located in Gumi some 202 kilometers (126 miles) southeast of Seoul.

3,000 tons of PBAT can be produced at Gumi Plant annually. SK Geo Centric plans to increase the production capacity to 60,000 tons per year by 2024 through cooperation with the textile manufacturing company. “PBAT decomposes quickly after it is buried in a landfill. We expect it will be widely used in various sectors because of its eco-friendly feature,” Kang Dong-hoon, SK Geo Centric’s Green Business Bureau Vice President, was quoted as saying.
