Technoeconomic Analysis for Biodegradable and Recyclable Paper Coated with Synthetic Ionic PBAT for Packaging Application.

ABSTRACT: This study presents a technoeconomic analysis (TEA) for a novel ionic polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), CPBAT, as a paper coating material, showcasing excellent water and oil resistance. This TEA determined total capital investment, operating costs, and minimum selling prices for a production capacity of 1,000 kg of CPBAT per day. The minimum selling prices of CPBAT coated on Kraft paper (CPBAT-K) and CPABT coated on starch-coated Kraft paper (CPBAT-S) are estimated to be $1.327/m² and $1.864/m², respectively. Additionally, the results of a sensitivity analysis show that the production of CPBAT-K and CPBAT-S is highly sensitive to the production capacity, raw material costs, energy efficiency of the coating process, reaction energy, and reaction yie
