Taiwan-based Tex Year Group has formed a joint venture with Minima Technology, a compostable tableware and food packaging manufacturer, to open its first compostable straw production facility in Poland.
The new 18,600ft² factory will manufacture biodegradable straws from naturally biodegradable, plant-based polymers. The straws are certified free of Biphenyl A, phthalates, or other plasticisers.
The Poland factory is the ninth factory of Tex Year’s worldwide deployment. It is expected to be operational in the first half of this year.
Tex Year is a green material supplier and is the first material manufacturer to construct a factory in Poland. It is also among the first wave of Taiwanese investment in Europe.
Apart from that, the company established its branch in Gniezno, Poland to provide service in the Europe zone market.
It utilises bio-based and biodegradable materials to make different hot melt adhesive products and has gained German DIN and American USDA certifications.
The green material supplier partners with food packaging, white goods, automotive assembly, woodworking, and mattress manufacturers to support them to achieve Net Zero Emissions.
Tex Year aims to integrate carbon emission reduction into daily life to establish a carbon footprint monitoring system and support carbon neutrality. It also conducts greenhouse gas inventory and low-carbon emission reduction.
Additionally, the firm has developed a solution for clean recycling, labelling of beverage bottles, and high-strength pocket spring mattress adhesive for different products.
