Michelin and Axens enter exclusive talks to accelerate deployment of a key bio-based molecule for green chemistry, developed with IFP Energies Nouvelles
In practice, the newly with IFPEN developed molecule 5-HMF serves as a building block for producing resins, polymers, and other more sustainable materials, progressively replacing certain petroleum-derived molecules
Can companies secure their fossil fuel supply at a reasonable cost and foster resilience?
It is a paradoxical situation. The risks posed by fossil fuels, are more apparent than ever, yet chemical companies are competing harder than ever for access to the dwindling pool of reliable, low-cost fossil sources. Instead, they should speed up their positioning in non-fossil sources to prepare for the transition to renewable carbon
Können Unternehmen eine bezahlbare und resiliente Versorgung mit fossilen Rohstoffen sicherstellen?
Es ist eine paradoxe Situation: Die Risiken fossiler Rohstoffe treten deutlicher denn je zutage, dennoch konkurrieren Chemieunternehmen mehr als zuvor um den Zugang zu einem schrumpfenden Angebot an verlässlichen und kostengünstigen fossilen Quellen. Stattdessen sollten sie ihre Positionierung bei nicht-fossilen Rohstoffquellen beschleunigen, um sich auf den Übergang zu erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff vorzubereiten

Full biodegradation of previously indestructible plastics uncovered in new study published by Imperial College London, SIRIM & Polymateria
It is estimated that 32% of plastic (packaging) globally escapes into nature, persists for up to hundreds of years, making its way into our oceans and breaking apart into microplastics
Market Creation is Key to the Success of the Bioeconomy
The ongoing discussion in Brussels on introducing a bio-based content target for plastics in packaging under the PPWR (DG ENV) is particularly noteworthy as it would represent the first demand-side measure of its kind for bio-based plastics in Europe
Metsä Group invests EUR 25 million in the production of Muoto fibre packaging in Äänekoski, Finland
Metsä Group’s Muoto™ products can be used instead of plastic in food packaging for applications that are more demanding, for example. The company is investing in a new production line for Muoto food packaging in Äänekoski, Finland
