Emirates Biotech has selected Sulzer as the technology provider for its upcoming polylactic acid (PLA) production plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Once completed, Emirates Biotech says the plant will be the largest PLA production facility in the world. The facility will be constructed in two phases, each with an annual capacity of 80,000 metric tons, resulting in a total production capacity of 160,000 metric tons annually. The project aims to support regional and global efforts to combat plastic pollution and climate change.
