PLIITH

The total investment in the PLIITH project is RMB 8.6 billion, with a planned land area of 1,800 mu and a planned PLA production capacity of 350,000 tons.

PLIITH Biotechnology Co., Ltd., founded in 2021 as a joint venture with the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has a total investment of RMB 8.6 billion, with a planned land are of 1,800 mu and a planned PLA production capacity of 350,000 tons. Among these plans, the first phase of a 75,000 tons/year lactic acid and 50,000 tons/year PLA smart factory project officially started construction in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, in 2021 and is currently undergoing on-load testing and commissioning. 

PLIITH focuses on the research, development, production, sales, and technical services of bio-based materials, striving to become a global leader in PLA materials.

PLIITH Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is an enterprise that specializes in the technology development, production and processing, and industrial promotion of high-purity lactic acid, lactide, and PLA. The Company aims to create a comprehensive chain layout from "deep processing of agricultural products - microbial fermentation - fine chemical engineering - high molecular new materials - new material application." The Company focuses on the research, development, production, sales, and technical services of biobased materials, committed to becoming a global leader in polylactic acid (PLA) materials.

PLIITH's PLA project has advanced the synthesis and manufacturing capabilities of lactide and PLA, as well as the process equipment, constructing a new-generation pilot production line. This has enabled the completion of standard compliance testing and industry certification for the PLIITH PLA pilot materials.

The PLIITH's PLA project, based on two decades of dedicated research by the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has overcome the synthesis and manufacturing processes and equipment capabilities for lactide and PLA. It has solved a series of technological challenges including dehydration, oligomerization, cracking, distillation, polymerization, and degassing. Using the experience gained from ton-scale production, it has constructed a new-generation pilot production line and completed the standard compliance testing and industry certification of PLIITH's PLA pilot materials. 

PLIITH adheres to the development philosophy of "Green, Innovative, Collaborative and Win-Win."

PLIITH will always uphold the development philosophy of "Green, Innovative, Collaborative and Win-Win", working together with industry peers in the biodegradable materials supply chain to contribute to the healthy development of the biodegradable materials industry and fulfill its mission of creating a naturally beautiful environment.
