Dow-Mitsui Polychemicals Company, Ltd Mitsui & Dow Polychemicals (Tokyo; President: Ryoji Kato) starts marketing biomass ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and biomass low density polyethylene (LDPE) based on the mass balance method from September 1, 2024. Biomass EVA and biomass LDPE have the same resin properties as conventional petroleum-derived products because the raw material, biomass ethylene, exhibits the same physical properties as conventional petroleum-derived ethylene. Therefore, they can be easily switched from conventional products, while contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions over the entire product life cycle.
