nova Session: “Renewable Polymers: Production and Trends 2020-2025” – Final Programme available!

17 February 2021, 10:00 – 16:00 h (webinar via zoom)
Bio-based and CO₂-based Solutions

The only way for chemicals and plastics to become sustainable, climate-friendly and part of the circular economy is the complete substitution of fossil carbon with renewable carbon from alternative sources: biomass, CO₂ and recycling. Sold out PLA in 2019 has led to the installation of increased capacities in 2020, PE and PP made from bio-based naphtha are breaking ground and future expansion for bio-based polyamides will come into place, growth for bio-based polymers is expected to be at 8 % until 2025. Additionally, the use of CO₂ as chemical feedstock for polymers has been intensively diversified. Besides the long-established use of CO₂ for the synthesis of polycarbonates, also polyurethanes can already be based on it. Optimised technology approaches in fermentation, electrochemistry and catalysts for conversion are emerging and broaden the CO₂-based polymer portfolio.
