Commercialization of Bio-Based TPE Accelerates: Green Material Substitution Enters Fast Track

With the maturation of bio-based raw material technologies,bio-based TPE derived from renewable resources such as plant oils and corn starch is accelerating its commercialization. The latest bio-based TPE products contain over 70% renewable materials, reducing carbon footprint by more than 50% compared to petroleum-based counterparts. In terms of performance, bio-based TPE meets or even exceeds the technical specifications of traditional TPE and has gained widespread application in environmentally stringent fields such as automotive interiors, children's products, and food packaging. Green procurement policies in the EU and the U.S. are further propelling this trend. By 2028, bio-based TPE is expected to increase its share of the global TPE market from 5% to 20%, becoming a significant force in green material substitution.
