Emirates Biotech has launched its new line of polylactic acid (PLA) biopolymers – Embio product range – as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics.

Embio PLA grades combine high clarity, strength, and processability with a substantially lower carbon footprint than traditional plastics. The material can be recycled or industrially composted, and does not leave behind persistent microplastics in the environment, supporting waste reduction and circularity goals.

The Embio portfolio includes a range of PLA grades suitable for rigid and flexible packaging, coated paper board, fibers, nonwovens, and 3D printing.

“Each Embio grade has been carefully developed and tested under strict conditions to ensure verified compliance with food-contact, bio-based, and compostability standards. This proves that performance and sustainability can coexist without sacrificing a material’s functionality,” said Christophe Enkiri, Product Manager at Emirates Biotech.

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.

“Our decision to maintain local inventory was driven by the need for greater flexibility and faster response times for our customers,” added Prashant Lohade, Sales Development Manager at Emirates Biotech.
