(P2) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that intends to build on both companies\u2019 expertise in the field of chemistry and renewable materials derived from plants. The MOU proposes the companies will work together in the development of commercial opportunities for plant-based monomers, polymers and ingredients for personal care and flavors &amp; fragrances (F&amp;F).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ADM has a leading global portfolio of plant-based feedstocks including carbohydrates, vegetable oils and terpenes. P2 has developed a suite of patented green chemistry process technologies that convert renewable feedstocks into high value specialty chemicals. P2 also has a growing portfolio of novel aroma chemicals and cosmetics ingredients. Under the terms of the MOU, the companies will bring these and other strengths together with the aim of developing business opportunities in the growing market for plant-based, renewable chemicals and materials. The initial program targets will include monomers for polyesters and polyamides and other chemical intermediates derived from vegetable oil feedstocks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very happy to be working with ADM in such an important area. ADM\u2019s global presence in agricultural feedstocks is unparalleled. Their market reach and technology are second to none and we couldn\u2019t think of a better partner to be working with in the emerging bioeconomy,\u201d said Neil Burns, CEO of P2 Science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis exciting program with P2 adds to a growing pipeline of plant-based renewable chemicals at ADM,\u201d said Paul Bloom, ADM vice president, Process and Chemical Research. \u201cADM values developing novel technology with innovative partners like P2. We are committed to growing our sustainable materials platform by combining agricultural feedstocks with world-class technology to provide renewable solutions to customers throughout the value chain. In 2018, ADM and DuPont opened the world\u2019s first pilot production facility for bio-based FDME and earlier this year announced a joint development with LG Chem to produce biobased acrylic acid. In response to consumer demand for environmentally responsible products, many consumer packaged goods companies have committed to more sustainable packaging, including the use of plant-based materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>About ADM<\/h3>\n<p>At ADM, we unlock the power of nature to provide access to nutrition worldwide.
