-- Hyosung TNC is taking significant strides towards a
sustainable future by focusing on the production of sustainable
bio-based BDO. Butanediol (BDO) plays a crucial role as a chemical
material not only in the production of spandex fibers like PTMG but
also in various other industries such as engineering plastics,
biodegradable packaging, footwear soles, and industrial
compounds.

However, traditional BDO production methods have presented
notable environmental challenges due to their dependence on fossil
fuels as the primary raw material like coal. In response, Hyosung
partnered with Geno, a San
Diego-based biotech leader specializing in sustainable
materials, in 2023. Through Geno's proven plant-based GENO™ BDO
technology, which ferments sugars from sugarcane to replace fossil
fuels like coal, Hyosung aims to advance its range of regen™ Bio
Spandex products.
Expanding upon its sustainable brand, regen™, which already
offers polyester and nylon fibers made from recycled PET bottles
and discarded fishing nets, Hyosung TNC now seeks to lead the
growing premium spandex market with bio-based spandex products.
By embarking on this bio-based BDO production venture, Hyosung
TNC is not only contributing to environmental protection but also
paving the way for sustainable industrial development. They
reaffirm their commitment to being a more responsible corporate
citizen by presenting this innovative approach, which captures the
essence of environmental protection and sustainable industrial
growth.
