Be Part of the Chemistry and Materials Industry’s Transition From Fossil to Renewable Carbon!Toray Boosts Stake in Thai Subsidiary to Upgrade Cellulosic Sugar Production for Fibers, Resins, and Films Derived from Inedible Biomass
The company will thereby avoid competition with the food chain and develop a range of technologies, including to recycle used plastic products, switch to biomass-derived materials, and tap carbon dioxide as a raw material
Polymers as carbon storage: Neste, LyondellBasell, Biofibre and Naftex bring bio-based polymers to the construction sector
Cooperation enables construction parts to be made of bio-based plastics reinforced with natural fiber. Longevity of construction materials can enable storing of carbon for years or even decades
Organic-based coating with innovative functional properties is suitable for packaging and food products
A team of researchers at the University of Hohenheim has developed a new coating system that is both water-impermeable, heat-resistant, and mechanically durable as well as being suitable for consumption, and biodegradable at the same time
NatureWorks and Jabil Collaborate to Offer New Ingeo PLA-based Powder for Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing Platforms
Renewably sourced biomaterials and lower sintering temperature result in a more sustainable substrate for powder bed fusion technologies requiring less energy use and a carbon footprint 89% smaller than PA-12
NatureWorks introduces new Ingeo biopolymer solution for improved softness and strength in biobased nonwovens for hygiene applications
Delivering enhanced fluid management, improved tensile strength and up to 40% increase in softness offering a better performing spunbond nonwoven that minimizes converting challenges while providing a 62% smaller carbon footprint
Gevo Enters Joint Development Agreement with LG Chem to Develop Bio-Propylene
Bio-propylene can be used to replace fossil-based products as an eco-friendly raw material for various plastic products and is expected to play a pivotal role in the rapid growth of the bioplastic market and circular economy
An Astronomical Milestone: phade® Has Replaced 1 Billion Plastic Straws with a Sustainable Marine Biodegradable, Home and Industrial Compostable Alternative
Eliminating enough plastic straws from the planet to reach halfway to the moon, phade® manufacturer WinCup, Inc. aims to get all the way there and beyond in its battle against plastic pollution
Ingevity to highlight Capa® caprolactone high performance polyol technology and expanded vegetable oil-based offerings at the European Coatings Show 2023
The coatings application manager at Ingevity, Amanda Tosh, will present a study on the benefits achieved when using polycaprolactone-based polyols in 2K polyurethane coatings
Production of Bioplastics Will Triple by 2027 and Reach 6.3 Million Tonnes
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, inaugurated the eighth edition of its International Seminar on Biopolymers and Sustainable Composites, where nearly 20 speakers discussed the challenges and opportunities facing the bioplastics industry, and presented their innovations and success stories
Producing bioplastics from wastewater
Wastewater treatment plants can do more than just wastewater treatment. In the future, they should also recover resources. One approach that researchers at Eawag are pursuing is the conversion of the organic carbon contained in wastewater into bioplastics with the help of bacteria
