The comprehensive trend report presents latest developments, producers, drivers and lessons learnt especially for PHA, PLA, PUR/TPU, PA and polymers based on furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and succinic acid (SA)

The conversion from hydrocarbons to carbohydrates and CO₂ as feedstock to produce chemicals and polymers becomes more significant every year. It is anticipated that bio-based chemicals like adipic acid, butanediol, furandicarboxylic acid, lactic acid and succinic acid will form bio-based chemical platforms worth more than 30 billion € by 2030. Although these chemicals are to a large extent used for polymer production, there are also other polymer related developments focusing on renewable feedstock use.
