제목: Sustainable Polyolefins Development Toward a Better Future

내용: As global climate crisis and resource depletion have recently emerged, the sustainability management of many companies have been attended increasingly. In line with these global trends, many leading companies including the governments are changing the business environment along with social contribution and transparent management. Actually, we have commercialized polyolefin-based elastomer in solution process using our own metallocene technology since 2008, but our polyolefin products should be changed to lead future market needs. Many customers are requesting sustainability which is inevitable paradigm in our polymer industry. In this lecture, I would like to talk about how LG Chem manages important issues such as renewable resources, biomaterials and recycled products in the petrochemical industry. In particular, polyolefin products which account for the largest proportion in the synthetic polymer industry are mainly used for packaging and construction materials, but we should solve these problems through recycling of packaging materials or reduction of weigh materials due to global environment issue. In addition, LG Chem also plans to contribute to carbon neutrality through the development of energy materials such as solar power in the polyolefin field. We would like to the direction of the development of polyolefin materials with a focus on related contents.
