The biobased nature and compostability of our PLA mean it contributes to the circular economy, also through mechanical and chemical recycling. It has a 75% lower carbon footprint to conventional plastics. Our 50/50 joint venture between TotalEnergies and Corbion, headquartered in the Netherlands, operates a cutting-edge PLA facility in Rayong, Thailand.
Through the application of PLA across various sectors and collaboration throughout the value chain, we drive the widespread adoption of bioplastics. With our partners, we are revolutionizing industries while nurturing a healthier planet.
Our Luminy® PLA product line caters to a wide range of industries, including fresh food packaging, consumer goods, medical components, fibers, food serviceware, automotive components, and 3D printing.
We strive to shape a better tomorrow, envisioning a future where PLA plays an important role in fostering a sustainable planet for present and future generations. And this is aligned with our commitment to making bioplastics a cornerstone in the world’s sustainability transition.
A world in which bioplastic products contribute to a sustainable and circular economy

Do you want to contribute to a more sustainable future?
Our scientists and experts are always on call. We work alongside your team to help build new applications and ensure a smooth transition to sustainable solutions.
SAFETY
Safety encompasses everything we do. If there is not a safe way of doing it, we will not do it. This covers what we do as employees and as a company. As well as ensuring we ourselves do everything safely, on the job and in our daily life, we should look out for our colleagues and partners to ensure they also act in accordance with the most stringent safety principles.
INTEGRITY
We expect the highest levels of integrity. This is not just obeying rules, laws and regulations, but also circles back to our purpose of having a real and meaningful impact in terms of sustainability through the products and solutions we provide. We believe that integrity is the cornerstone of credibility and a pre-requisite for success.
WE ENABLE OTHERS TO DO GOOD
We cannot achieve our goals in isolation. Our products on their own do not in themselves make the world a better place. Only when we buy the right feedstocks, supply customers who can replace less sustainable materials or develop new applications that are in themselves sustainable, or help customers find or develop better and more secure end of life solutions, will we be making a real difference. By helping others we help ourselves and the environment.
AMBITION
Creating a different world for future generations requires ambition and perseverance. Creating change is never easy, especially for a new entrant, but now is the time to address the sustainability challenges that our planet faces. We set ambitious and challenging targets knowing that making a difference requires quantum leaps rather than only small iterative improvements. While we are also aware of the pitfalls and the need to be humble, we have the ambition to capture the opportunities in order to successfully achieve our purpose and make a positive contribution to the world.
