“Thai government announced the launch of its ambitious bio-economy scheme, which it expects to draw Bt400 billion worth of investment from the private sector during the next 10 years.” - Jan 2017, The Nation
“Global bioplastics production capacities continue to grow despite low oil price…Asia will further expand its role as major production hub. In 2021, more than 45% of bioplastics will be produced in Asia.” – Dec 2016, Bioplastics Magazine Bio-economy is a global trend - the World Economic Forum estimates its value chain to witness investments of more than 200 billion euros by 2020. The worldwide biobased polymers capacity is expected to reach 3.6 million tons in 2021, nearly 52% of this volume will be installed in Asia. This equals an increase of installed capacities of 71% in the next five years.
Currently new developments in South-East Asia targeting the establishment of large scale bio-hubs, bio-clusters or bio-based polymer parks in Thailand and Malaysia. The implementation of biorefineries and bio-hubs in the region further strengthen its competitiveness including the following
Asia, with its abundant resources, and the active commitment of governments, presents a unique combination of all the attributes necessary to be a successful site for biochemical and bioplastics production. The two largest economies in Asia - India and China banned traditional plastic bags and moved towards biodegradable options. Enormous opportunities are present in the region.

PLA is made from the monomer Lactide, which in turn is made from lactic acid, Corbion’s core product. Total-Corbion is modifying the existing Lactide plant in Rayong to make the full range of PLA grade polymers. Secondly a PLA polymerization plant is being added to the production train so Total-Corbion can also supply PLA polymers to the market by 2018. The capacity of the PLA polymerization is 75.000 Mton per year. Finally Total-Corbion also install a PLA development plant with a capacity of 1.000 Ton per year for process optimization and product development. This development plant will be operational in 2017.
In total Total-Corbion invests about $100 million, on top of earlier investments in the Lactide plant, to make Thailand the second producer in the World of PLA biopolymers.
