Recently, the Polish chemical company Grupa Azoty announced that it has launched a pilot line for the production of thermoplastic starch with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons
.
The new production line is a strategic decision made by Grupa Azoty to the Directive (EU) 2019/904 issued by the European Parliament and the Council in June 2019
The EU directive states that the EU will prohibit the use of disposable packaging made of plastics made of modified natural polymers, non-natural bio-based, fossil-based, and synthetic substances
.
Grupa Azoty predicts that the European starch market will triple by 2030
Tomasz Hinc, Managing Director of Grupa Azoty, said: “The production of plastics that are completely degradable in the natural environment is part of the European Green Agreement and in line with our goals
.
At present, there is a general lack of thermoplastic starch manufacturers in the Polish, Central and Eastern European markets.
