Achieve a 90% share of products containing recycled raw materials or biomass-based raw materials within the copolyester product line, CRPET, and biomass-based product sales
Development of Biomass-Based Products
Through extensive research and development, SK chemicals has developed and supplied PO3G, a bio-polyol derived from plant-based industrial starch.
Use of Renewable Raw Materials
As demand for fossil-based products declines and the importance of renewable raw materials grows, SK chemicals is expanding its use of biomass-based feedstock and recycled raw materials in parallel with building its green portfolio.
Renewable raw materials are defined as raw materials derived from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources or biomass-based feedstock, and the company focuses on increasing sales of products that contain such materials.
Detailed data on renewable raw material usage is available in the Sustainability Report for the corresponding year.
