The agreement covers the integrated BDO and DMS production, enabling downstream applications such as polybutylene Succinate (PBS) and other specialty polymers, supporting the transition toward bio-based and circular materials. Subsequent tenders for catalyst and proprietary equipment supply are expected.
These technologies deliver exceptionally high conversion efficiency and product purity, reduce feedstock usage to enhance overall sustainability, and offer seamless integration with downstream units enabling flexible, diversified production pathways for advanced biopolymers.
Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of NEXTCHEM, commented: “This achievement reflects the growing market confidence in our innovative approach to combine adjacent technologies and advanced process integration, capable of delivering competitive advantages in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and product quality. This result reinforces our technological excellence and competitiveness in the bioplastics sector in a strategically significant industrial market such as China.”
