Bio-based plasticisers support drive for green materials

In Europe and Japan, the restrictions on food packaging materials, medical equipment, toys and any PVC-related products closely connected with the human body is becoming more stringent and affecting the products being exported to these markets. No country can be exempt from this global trend, therefore, the research and development for safe and environmentally-friendly plasticisers has become a priority for every country.  

The rapidly growing demand for green plasticisers exemplifies the developmental urgency of safe and environmentally-friendly materials. It is a key threshold for all plastic-related industries that aspire to be a market leader in the future. According to an intensive survey on the China plasticiser market from 2011 to 2016, the demand for epoxy, polyester and bio-degradable products will be exponential.  

The next decade is poised to be a Golden Period for the development of green plasticisers. Under such an immense demand, but with fierce competition, the development progress of plastic additives in Taiwan has reached new levels. Plastic additive manufacturers around the world are taking advantage of their production capacities, product diversity and practice with regard to issue of environmental protection. The plasticiser manufacturers in Taiwan can stay competitive so as to cope with international competitors by means of industrial synergy, increased product quality and added value, as well as injecting more environmental protection factors into their products.  

To widen the market scope for special chemical products, bio-based plasticiser is the best choice. The technical development of bio-based materials is applied in the PVC industry. In addition, in Taiwan polymer products are widely seen and used in daily life. Bio-plasticiser technology is the key ingredient to boost product safety, as well as added value. The related product technology can be extended to food packaging, medical products, toy industry and other PVC products that are closely connected with human body.
