TotalEnergies Corbion, a global leader in polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastics, and Benvic, a leading expert in compounding, have come together to drive the adoption of sustainable Luminy PLA-based compounds.

This collaboration will expand the use of plant-based solutions in durable applications such as automotive, healthcare and medical, cosmetics packaging, appliances, and electric & electronics.

Through this partnership, Benvic's Plantura portfolio, which incorporates TotalEnergies Corbion’s Luminy PLA, offers biobased alternatives with a significate lower carbon footprint. These solutions provide sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics such as ABS, PS and PP compounds.

“We are excited to collaborate with Benvic in extending the usage of sustainable PLA compounds,” said Hao Ding, Global Marketing Director at TotalEnergies Corbion. “With our strong network of brand owners and deep understanding of the PLA and the market, we are confident that together we can accelerate adoption in key industries, demonstrating the versatility and benefits of PLA far beyond packaging and food serviceware.”

By working together on product optimization and customer engagement, the two companies aim to position PLA compounds as innovative, scalable solutions for durable goods OEMs and brand-owners, particularly in automotive and electronics.

“Benvic has managed a continuous focus in terms of engineering and production capabilities on Plantura because we believe in a biobased future,” said Eric GRANGE, marketing director at Benvic. “With the support of TotalEnergies Corbion, we are poised to unlock new opportunities, strengthen our presence in the market, and deliver high-performance sustainable materials to our customers.”
