Anellotech Publishes Report Confirming Advantaged Economics of Converting Mixed Plastic Waste Plastic Into High Value Chemical Intermediates Using Its Proprietary Plas-TCat® Technology
This report represents a major advancement of Plas-TCat over traditional thermal pyrolysis, addressing a critical challenge in economically improving plastic waste collection and recycling
Metsä Group conducts first survey with Andritz examining what the capture of four million tonnes of carbon dioxide requires
The survey demonstrated that it is possible to capture all the carbon dioxide generated by a large bioproduct mill, but that it requires major investments and developments in the related technology and market
Infinited Fiber and Norbite collaborate in EU-funded TEX-INSECT project
This project aims to further strengthen feedstock versatility by improving side stream utilization including the development of a novel insect-based biorefinery that employs the larvae of Galleria mellonella to digest and transform synthetic polymers into valuable products
Reimagining skin care: How bio-based succinic acid could transform cosmetics
Succinic acid is emerging as a pivotal ingredient in the skin care industry and is celebrated for its acne-fighting properties and skin-friendly profile. However, traditional production methods, reliant on petroleum, pose significant sustainability challenges and contribute to environmental concerns
Just 0.3% of materials used by the global textile industry come from recycled sources, with almost no textile-to-textile recycling
The use of recycled textiles in production remains minimal, while oil-derived synthetic fibres like polyester are gaining ground, now accounting for 70% of the materials used to make our clothes
Avantium and SCGC Advance the Development of PLGA Polyester
Avantium’s Volta Technology uses electrochemistry to convert CO2 to high-value products and chemical building blocks including glycolic acid. Glycolic acid, combined with lactic acid, can be used to produce PLGA polyester in existing manufacturing assets
Licensee of Asahi Kasei Technology Begins Commercial Production of High-Purity Carbonates Using CO2 as Main Feedstock in China
The plant uses technology licensed from Asahi Kasei for the production of high-purity ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) which are used as electrolyte solvents in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles with carbon dioxide (CO2)
Asahi Kasei: Chinesischer Lizenznehmer startet kommerzielle Produktion von hochreinen Carbonaten mit CO2 als Hauptrohstoff
Die von Asahi Kasei lizenzierte Technologie zur Herstellung von hochreinem Ethylencarbonat (EC) und Dimethylcarbonat (DMC) mit Kohlendioxid (CO2) als Hauptrohstoff werden als Lösungsmittel für Lithium-Ionen Batterieelektrolyte für Elektrofahrzeuge verwendet werden
Development of bio-based, climate-neutral building materials by means of biogenic material production using phototrophic microorganisms
The development of new bio-based and sustainable materials to permanently capture CO2 is a starting point for research and development that project manager Dr. Ulla König is working on in her Biocompatible Materials group at the Fraunhofer FEP
Entwicklung biobasierter klimaneutraler Baustoffe durch biogene Materialgewinnung unter Nutzung phototropher Mikroorganismen
Die Entwicklung neuer biobasierter und nachhaltiger Materialien zur dauerhaften Bindung von CO2 ist ein Ansatzpunkt für Forschung und Entwicklung, mit dem sich Projektleiterin Dr. Ulla König am Fraunhofer FEP in ihrer Gruppe Biokompatible Materialien beschäftigt
