NatureWorks Launches Biopolymer Production Plant in Thailand
NatureWorks has opened a new biopolymer production facility in Thailand, expanding its Ingeo manufacturing capacity. The plant produces 75,000 metric tonnes annually of polylactic acid (PLA) using locally sourced sugarcane, supporting lower-carbon material demand in packaging and consumer goods. The facility is part of the Nakhon Sawan BioComplex and is expected to boost regional supply chains and employment.
