Covation Biomaterials Showcases Advancements in Sustainable Materials at K-Show 2025

Covation Biomaterials LLC, often referred to as CovationBio®, is making waves in the world of bio-based materials. At the renowned K-Show 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany, the company introduced significant achievements related to its innovative product, CovationBio® bioPTMEG. As the leading global trade fair for plastics and rubber, K-Show serves as the perfect platform for CovationBio® to demonstrate how its advanced, environmentally friendly technologies are redefining the landscape of material manufacturing.

Introducing bioPTMEG

CovationBio® bioPTMEG was first unveiled at the ChinaPlas event in April 2025 and is touted as a sustainable alternative to traditional polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) derived from fossil fuels. This innovative material not only offers high performance but also comes with substantially lower production emissions, positioning it as a frontrunner in the sustainable materials sector.

Feifeng You, President of CovationBio®, remarked, “Thanks to our ongoing collaboration with clients, we are hitting pivotal milestones that bring us closer to commercializing bioPTMEG. This sustainable product leverages advanced technology to deliver peak performance with a minimal environmental impact, truly redefining the possibilities of bio-based materials.”

Key Advantages of bioPTMEG

The benefits of CovationBio® bioPTMEG extend well beyond its environmental credentials. Key features include:

• - Significant Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Compared to traditional fossil-based suppliers, bioPTMEG produces drastically fewer greenhouse gases, making it a greener choice for manufacturers.
• - 100% Bio-based: This material is entirely derived from renewable resources, lessening the reliance on non-renewable raw materials.
• - Sustainable Raw Materials: The corn feedstocks used in bioPTMEG production do not compete with food sources, ensuring that the agricultural ecosystem remains intact while providing a renewable resource.
• - Gradual Transition for Clients: Customers can transition to bio-based raw materials seamlessly without extensive overhauls to their production processes, facilitating an easier shift to sustainability.

Upcoming Manufacturing Plant

Looking towards the future, CovationBio® is on track to complete the mechanical construction of a dedicated manufacturing facility for bioPTMEG in Qidong, Jiangsu Province by the end of 2025. Commercial production is set to commence in the first half of 2026. This facility underscores CovationBio®'s commitment to providing sustainable solutions for high-performance materials across various applications, including elastane, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic elastomers.

K-Show 2025 Participation

Aligning with this year’s K-Show theme of “The Power of Plastics! Eco-Friendly, Smart, and Responsible,” Covation Biomaterials is eager to share insights into how bioPTMEG can integrate with high-performance materials like TPU, PU, COPE, COPA, and spandex. These integrations aim to bolster sustainability strategies with partners across the value chain.

Attendees can visit CovationBio® at Booth C07-1 in Hall 5, where experts will be available to discuss potential applications of bioPTMEG and its environmental impacts. On October 10, 2025, Dr. Mosha Zhao, Global Marketing Director for the C4 platform, and Dr. Dan Slanac, Global Technology Director at CovationBio®, will present a groundbreaking initiative focused on transforming non-food bio-based feedstocks into renewable raw materials aimed at reducing carbon footprints. This presentation will be part of the Business Breakfast Days Conference on Bioplastics held at the Congress Center.
