据安迅思7月15日消息称，韩国生产商LG化学周三表示，该公司将在环保石化产品和电池材料等新业务增长领域投资10万亿韩元(87亿美元)。
该公司在一份声明中表示，将在生物材料、回收和可再生能源材料等“可持续业务”上投资3万韩元。
LG化学表示，该公司计划本月开始全面生产一种“生物平衡”高吸水性聚合物(SAP)，并获得ISCC Plus认证，并向美国和欧洲等全球客户供应这种聚合物。
生物平衡 SAP 是使用生物可再生原材料（如废弃食用油）和化石燃料的组合生产的。
ISCC Plus 是生态友好型生物产品的国际认证。
LG化学于2019年9月早些时候表示，在同意与美国农业企业Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)合作开发生物基丙烯酸(AA)后，该公司正在评估北美一家生物SAP工厂的建设。
AA 用于制造 SAP。
LG化学还打算在今年开始建设可生物降解的聚己二酸二苯二甲酸丁二酯(PBAT)生产设施，但该公司没有提供更多细节。
PBAT用于农用和一次性薄膜，在自然界中迅速分解成氧、热、光和酶反应。

S Korea’s LG Chem to invest $8.7bn in new growth areas
LG Chem is investing won (W) 10 trillion ($8.7bn) through to 2025 in new business growth areas such as eco-friendly petrochemical products and battery materials, the South Korean producer said on Wednesday.
The company will invest W3 trillion in “sustainability businesses” such as bio materials, recycling, and renewable energy materials, the company said in a statement.
LG Chem plans to start full-scale production of a “bio-balanced” superabsorbent polymer (SAP) this month with ISCC Plus certification and supply it to global customers such as those in the US and Europe, the company said.
Bio-balanced SAP is produced using a combination of bio-renewable raw materials, such as waste cooking oil, and fossil fuels.
ISCC Plus is an international certification for eco-friendly bio products.
LG Chem earlier in September 2019 said that it was reviewing the construction of a bio-SAP plant in North America after it agreed to work with US agribusiness firm Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) to develop bio-based acrylic acid (AA).
AA is used in the manufacture of SAP.
LG Chem is also looking to start construction of biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) production facilities this year, the company said without providing further details.
PBAT is used for agricultural and disposable films and rapidly decomposes into oxygen, heat, light and enzyme reactions in nature.
