How to meet the global need for carbon as a feedstock in the chemical and derived materials sector in the future?
The chemical sector has a long-lasting and increasing demand for carbon that is embedded in its products. Today, 450 million tonnes of carbon are contained in chemicals and polymers, mostly sourced from fossil resources. The free report “Turning off the Tap for Fossil Carbon”, shows how the demand is met today and could be covered by renewable carbon in the year 2050.
Poster update: Biodegradable Polymers in Various Environments According to Established Standards and Certification Schemes
The biodegradation of materials is a complex process that depends mainly on the environmental conditions in which the materials end up after their use. Additionally, only a handful of polymers will be able to biodegrade in different environments.
Origin Materials and Packaging Matters Launch Partnership to Develop Advanced Carbon-Negative Packaging Solutions, Building on Existing 10-Year Supply Agreement
Packaging Matters had previously entered into a supply agreement to purchase sustainable carbon-negative PET from Origin Materials for next-generation packaging
For which plastic products is biodegradation a viable end-of-life option?
The BioSinn project found products and applications for which biodegradation at the end-of-life is a real option. 25 fact sheets answer technical and regulatory questions for each application. The market volume of these applications was also estimated: in Germany it is about 170,000 tonnes*, in the European Union about 1 million tonnes per year!
Bioeconomy is not alone – from Bioeconomy to Carbon Management
The bioeconomy faces great expectations and hopes in the fight against climate change, and at the same time is viewed critically. The biggest problems in building a strong bioeconomy are direct and indirect land use changes, which have significant impacts on biodiversity, climate change, and food security
How will the Bioeconomy of the Future look like?
The BioMonitor project released two policy briefs that focused on future-oriented scenarios developed for the analysis with the BioMonitor Model Toolbox. These scenarios present possible future development pathways for the European Bioeconomy by 2030 and by 2050
Chemicals and Materials for the Future: Renewable Materials Conference 2021 – Final Program
Which renewable materials are solutions that meet the needs of future societies? As a response to this challenging question, nova-Institute has decided to unite all relevant industries in the new “Renewable Materials Conference”, May 18–20, 2021, featuring a unique concept to present all renewable material solutions at one event: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled.
