For the first time, Neste is using renewable Neste RE in the production of PET, one of the most common plastics for beverage bottles. The bio-based raw material is made from 100 per cent waste and residues.
Neste is cooperating with Suntory, Eneos and Mitsubishi Corporation to enable the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin from renewable Neste RE on a commercial scale. Neste RE is a raw material for plastics production that is made from 100 per cent bio-based raw materials such as waste and residues, e.g. used cooking oil, and replaces fossil raw materials in the value chain. The Japanese beverage manufacturer Suntory will use the renewable PET resin to manufacture bottles for its products in 2024.
As a new partner of Neste in Japan, Eneos use bio-based intermediates produced with Neste RE, to produce bio-paraxylene (Bio-PX) at its refinery in Okyama, Japan. The Bio-PX will then be processed into PTA (purified terephthalic acid) and then into PET resin, which Suntory will use in the production of its PET bottles. Mitsubishi Corporation will coordinate the co-operation between the partners in the value chain.
„To tackle the looming climate crisis and its consequences, companies must take responsibility now. By forging partnerships along the value chain, Neste can help to reduce the chemical and plastics industry's dependence on fossil resources and develop products with a lower CO2-footprint.“
