Emirates Biotech launches its Embio product range – a new generation of PLA biopolymers made in the Emirates

-

Emirates Biotech has launched its Embio product range, its new line of PolyLactic Acid (PLA) biopolymers designed to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. The name Embio reflects the company’s Emirates roots, signifying a biopolymer made in the UAE, while highlighting its commitment to biotechnology and sustainability.

With the Embio product launch, Emirates Biotech begins pre-marketing across the Middle East, offering customers the opportunity to source locally stocked #PLA for faster delivery times and smaller minimum order volumes. This approach is designed to make it easier for regional converters, brand owners, and packaging manufacturers to start application development and facilitate the transition to plant based materials.


Marc Verbruggen, Chief Executive Officer of #EmiratesBiotech, said “Our launch of Embio products marks a major milestone in our journey to make renewable and compostable plastics accessible across the Middle East. The Embio name covers more than a product and stands as a symbol of our commitment to innovation, to reducing dependence on fossil resources, and to supporting the region in building a circular economy.


The Embio portfolio includes a range of PLA grades suitable for rigid and flexible packaging, coated paper board, fibers, nonwovens, and 3D printing.

Prashant Lohade, Sales Development Manager at Emirates Biotech, said “Our decision to maintain local inventory was driven by the need for greater flexibility and faster response times for our customers. “With Embio grades now available in the UAE, customers can access PLA in smaller volumes and benefit from shorter lead times. This marks an important milestone for companies in the Middle East looking to integrate sustainable materials into their existing production lines.


Embio PLA grades combine high clarity, strength, and processability with a substantially lower carbon footprint than traditional plastics. The material can be recycled or industrially composted, and does not leave behind persistent microplastics in the environment, supporting waste reduction and circularity goals.


The launch of Embio PLA products align with the UAE’s sustainability goals, including its national commitment to Net Zero 2050, and the development of a circular economy. By combining regional manufacturing, material innovation, technical expertise, and hands on customer-focused service, Emirates Biotech is accelerating the transition to a circular, biobased society, making our planet a better place.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
