Blow moulding<br />
trial in March <strong>2018</strong> in Anellotech’s pilot plant in Silsbee,<br />
Texas, USA, over 1,200 hours of cumulative on-stream time<br />
have been achieved at TCat-8, while BTX has been generated<br />
for product testing and evaluation and process development<br />
data collected for future commercial plant design.<br />
David Sudolsky, President & CEO of Anellotech, said<br />
“Following our announcements earlier this year on process<br />
development and continuous operation, we are glad that<br />
significant progress continues at our TCat-8 pilot plant. We<br />
continue to move the technology towards commercialization<br />
and shipping the pilot plant’s product for downstream<br />
evaluation is another major milestone. Having collaborated<br />
with Suntory since 2012 to advance development of costcompetitive<br />
bio-aromatics, we hope bio-based plastics<br />
made from our Bio-TCat process and a 100 % biobased<br />
(PET) bottle soon become a reality.”<br />
Anellotech is keen to partner with other innovative<br />
consumer product companies and brand owners aiming<br />
to meet sustainability goals with a low carbon footprint<br />
technology using non-food biomass feedstock. Producing<br />
BTX aromatics using the Bio-TCat technology can<br />
dramatically reduce industrial carbon footprints and provide<br />
a reliable and economical source of bio-aromatics.<br />
A biobased future is a more sustainable future<br />
If the industry can ensure performance, delivery and<br />
quality, the renewable chemicals sector will help take biobased<br />
chemicals into the mainstream.<br />
Anellotech is confident that biobased plastics made<br />
from its Bio-TCat process are becoming ever-closer to<br />
commercial status and they hope the dream for a 100 %<br />
bio-based bottle soon becomes a reality. MT<br />
