Dear DTI,

Good day! I respectfully request a list of all microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) manufacturing in the Philippines.

This will help me connect to them and analyze their process through a 'life cycle assessment' (LCA). It will serve as my master's thesis as I am taking MS chemical engineering at the University of the Philippines-Los Baños.

Hoping for your fast response. Thank you.

Thank you for your request dated Jan 06, 2023 09:57:36 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Manufacturing in the Philippines.

Response to Request

Please be informed, as per advise of the concerned Service and upon consulting with the pharma industry associations, Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) excipient is being imported mostly in Europe, China, India, and the United States and we don't have any local manufacturer/producer of such material here in the Philippines.

Thank you.
