Bio-MEG
UPM BIOCHEMICALS
In line with our vision to decrease the industry’s dependency on virgin fossil materials Selenis partnered with UPM to develop bio-based PET and PETG resins. UPM produces more sustainable, renewable MEG and MPG made from locally sourced and invariably certified wood in Germany. UPM extracts sugars from wood, through enzymatic hydrolysis and leverages said ingredient to produce Bio-MEG. The figure below perfectly depicts UPM’s Bio-MEG supply chain.
