MARKET DYNAMICS

Stringent Environmental Regulations

Accelerate Adoption of Biodegradable Solutions

South Korea's aggressive environmental policies are significantly propelling the biodegradable plastics market. The government's Plastic Waste Control Act (2021) imposes strict regulations on single-use plastics while incentivizing eco-friendly alternatives, creating a projected 22% increase in biodegradable polymer demand by 2025. Recent amendments to the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources mandate 30% biodegradable content in food packaging by 2026, forcing manufacturers to reformulate products..

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Breakthroughs in polymer science are overcoming traditional performance limitations. Recent developments in PHA/PLA nanocomposites have achieved tensile strength parity with PET while maintaining 180-day marine degradation. The 2024 commercialization of algaebased polymers by Korean researchers offers 40% cost reduction potential through novel photosynthesis production methods. These advancements enable penetration into demanding sectors like automotive components and electronics casing, potentially adding $120 million to market value by 2027.

COMPANY MISSION

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is emerging as a promising cancer treatment modality, particularly for difficult-to-treat tumors like glioblastoma. Japan has led clinical adoption with over 200 patients treated since 2020, while China and Europe are ramping up clinical trials. The precision targeting capability of boron-10, when irradiated with low-energy neutrons, minimizes damage to healthy tissues - a significant advantage over conventional radiotherapy. Pharmaceutical companies are investing in boron-containing drug development, with several boron-10 based compounds currently in Phase II/III trials for various oncology indications.
