US renewable chemicals firm EcoSynthetix, which produces a family of latex biobased products, has
commissioned a 36,000 tonne/year-production line within its existing US facility. The firm also installed a 36,000-tonne/year line at its Dutch plant last year, bringing its total capacity to 106,000 tonnes/year. With the
expansions, the company says it will be able to meet increasing demands from new and existing markets such as paper and paperboard. The new line comprises process automation technology for a range of packaging
options, including 25 kg bags and super sacks as well. It is also designed for flexibility with the capability to accommodate multiple feedstocks. (PRA)
