TotalEnergies Corbion Launches Label-Free PLA Bottle for South Korean Beverage Recycling
TotalEnergies Corbion has introduced an embossed, label-free PLA bottle in South Korea, designed for closed-loop recycling with Sansu. The bottle features integrated branding to simplify recycling, allowing it to enter recycling streams without additional processing. Post-consumer bottles will undergo chemical recycling to produce new recycled Luminy PLA (rPLA). The initiative supports a circular economy and aims to reduce carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics.

TotalEnergies Corbion has launched an embossed, label-free PLA bottle for the South Korean beverage market, facilitating a closed-loop recycling system with Sansu. This design uses embossed branding to eliminate conventional labels, simplifying the recycling process by allowing bottles to enter recycling streams directly.
The system collects post-consumer bottles for chemical recycling, converting PLA back into lactic acid monomer for new recycled Luminy PLA (rPLA) production. This initiative supports circular economy goals and offers lower carbon footprints compared to traditional plastics.
