With the Embio product launch, Emirates Biotech begins pre-marketing across the Middle East, offering customers the opportunity to source locally stocked PLA for faster delivery times and smaller minimum order volumes. This approach is designed to make it easier for regional converters, brand owners, and packaging manufacturers to start application development and facilitate the transition to plant based materials.
Marc Verbruggen, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Biotech, said “Our launch of Embio products marks a major milestone in our journey to make renewable and compostable plastics accessible across the Middle East. The Embio name covers more than a product and stands as a symbol of our commitment to innovation, to reducing dependence on fossil resources, and to supporting the region in building a circular economy.”
The Embio portfolio includes a range of PLA grades suitable for rigid and flexible packaging, coated paper board, fibers, nonwovens, and 3D printing.
Prashant Lohade, Sales Development Manager at Emirates Biotech, said “Our decision to maintain local inventory was driven by the need for greater flexibility and faster response times for our customers. “With Embio grades now available in the UAE, customers can access PLA in smaller volumes and benefit from shorter lead times. This marks an important milestone for companies in the Middle East looking to integrate sustainable materials into their existing production lines.”
