Mitsui Chemicals Inc. and Idemitsu joint venture Prime Polymer with stakes of owned 65pc and 35pc respectively has become the first company in Japan to commercially produce and ship biomass polypropylene (PP) in line with its net-zero target by 2050.
The bio-PP is produced using bio-naphtha from Finnish biofuels producer Neste, which makes it from vegetable oil waste and oil residues.
