Biomass PET Resin

Eco-Friendly Resins of using Bio-Based Raw Materials

Bio-PET resins are manufactured using 30% of bio-based raw materials of monoethylene glycol refined from molasses, a byproduct of sugar cane processing. Iwatani started selling bio-PET resin in 2010 and currently has No. 1 market share in Japan.*

*Based on Iwatani data as of December 2021 (30 thousand tons handled in 2021)

Product Characteristics

  1. Reducing CO2 emissions by 28%
  2. Environmentally-friendly resin consisting of 30% bio-based raw material

1Reducing CO2 emissions by 28%

In order to promote sales of sustainability-conscious raw materials, Iwatani conducts research based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which quantitatively evaluates the impact of raw materials on the ecosystem and the environment from the development stage. In 2011, DNP, Tokyo City University, and Iwatani conducted a joint research and survey on LCA of bio-PET resin. As a result, we found that biomass PET can reduce CO2 emission by 28% (1.7kg per 1 kg of biomass PET) from the production process to consumption, compared to normal PET.

2Environmentally-friendly resin consisting of 30% bio-based raw material

Biomass PET resin is made from biomass MEG refined from , a byproduct of sugar cane processing. This allows approximately 30% of PET resin to be bio-based.

Major Applications

Bio-PET resin has virtually identical physical properties to petrochemical-based PET resin, making it suitable for a wide range of applications through simple replacement of currently used PET resin.

  • Beverage bottles
  • Cosmetics containers
  • Films
  • Sheets, etc.

Concrete Reinforcement

Lower total concrete cost per square meter due to new concrete reinforcement

We are working on proposing a new type of concrete reinforcement. This new reinforcing material is a resin fiber, which reduces labor and construction time compared to traditional mesh reinforcement, reduces costs, and solves the problems of traditional mesh reinforcement (Cracks, Rust, Chemical Resistance, Breakage of Mixers and Pumps, etc.).

In particular, unlike iron wire, it is highly evaluated as a reinforcing material that does not rust and is used for waterproof concrete.

When using the product, our professional engineers will support the design, formulation, and usage of each product so that you do not have to worry about it.

Examples of Applications

Recycled resin

We are committed to supplying recycled resin to support companies' efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.

In the past, inferior recycled resins were used just to make them cheaper. However, in recent years, when global warming has become more prominent, countries and companies are promoting the adoption of recycled resins with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and changing from petroleum-derived resins.

There is a demand for a stable supply of recycled resin that can be replaced with resin. We are committed to supply recycled resin to meet this need.

Iwatani’s Strengths

1Stable Long-Term Supply Arrangements

To ensure stable PKS supply, Iwatani maintains long-term relationship with suppliers who operates Crude Palm Oils Mills.

2Flexible Delivery Schedules

Iwatani procures PKS from multiple shipping sites in Indonesia and Malaysia to allow the flexible delivery schedules.

3Strict Quality Control

PKS which moisture and foreign material are controlled will be shipped from Indonesia and Malaysia. Upon importation, we conduct in-house quality analysis at the Iwatani R&D Center, checking constituents, calorific value, specific gravity, and other parameters.

PKS Features

PKS, a carbon-neutral fuel, is derived from the fruit kernel of palm trees, which absorb CO2 when they grow. This offsets the CO2 emitted during combustion, resulting in a net zero impact on atmospheric CO2 levels.

Effective Use of Palm Trees

Malaysia and Indonesia grow enormous palm trees, and the harvested palm fruits are mainly used for palm oil and cosmetics production. Conventionally, the remnants of these processes were simply disposed, However those are used as biomass fuel in our own day.

GGL Certification

Iwatani has achieved GGL (Green Gold Label) certification. Iwatani’s declaration

Miscellaneous

Iwatani also handles a wide range of products such as silica sand for use in power generation boilers to assist in the combustion of biomass fuels.

Wood Pellet/Torrefied Wood Pellet

Wood Pellet—a Carbon-Neutral Fuel

Wood pellet is a biomass fuel produced from thinned lumbers generated at forest and from wood wastes generated at sawmills. Iwatani handles FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC certified wood pellets produced primarily in Southeast Asia including Vietnam. Iwatani implements a voluntary code of conduct based on guidelines established by the Japanese Forestry Agency (guideline of certifying woody biomass for electric use).
Voluntary Code of Conduct

Features

As a carbon neutral fuel, wood pellets do not affect emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Wood pellets are derived from thinned lumbers, wood wastes and sawdust generated from sawmills, however the originating trees absorb CO2 during their growth cycle, offsetting the CO2 emitted when they are burned. Overall, they have a zero effect on atmospheric CO2 levels. Iwatani works with multiple leading suppliers who operate stable production and quality control systems and offer enough supply capabilities to ensure a stable long-term supply of high quality wood pellets.

Certification

Iwatani offers FSC and PEFC certified wood pellets. We are also a certified supplier of woody biomass used for power generation, a requirement for supplying to biomass power plants in Japan.

Miscellaneous

Iwatani also handles a broad range of other products, including the silica sand feeded to power generation boilers to assist combustion of biomass fuel. Iwatani is working on the commercial development of torrefied wood pellets*, a promising alternative to coal.
*Torrefied Wood Pellet: Biomass fuel with increased calorific value produced by processing wood pellets and other biomass fuels
