The International Marketplace for Bio- and CO2- based mostly Plastics and Polymers

Revealed February 2023 | 782 pages, 239 figures, 150 tables | Obtain desk of contents

Bio-based polymers are sustainable polymers synthesized from renewable sources resembling biomass (e.g. plant waste, algae) quite than standard petroleum feedstocks resembling oil and gasoline. They provide vital benefits over conventional plastic 

CO2 demonstrates the potential to be a renewable and inexhaustible platform chemical for the synthesis of commodities (methanol, urea, (in)natural carbonates, formic acid), gas (methane, alcanes) and polymers. R&D is progressing to provide polymers and high-value chemical substances utilising CO2 as a feedstock. The expertise transforms CO2 into polycarbonates resembling polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and polyethylene carbonate (PEC) utilizing catalysts in a response with an epoxide, a chemical compound used as a reagent. Polymers and plastics generated utilising CO2 embrace:

1. Polymers incorporating CO2 immediately into their construction, resembling polycarbonates.
2. Polymers fashioned from monomers created by the hydrogenation of CO2, resembling ethylene and propylene.

Various firms are at the moment working polymer vegetation utilizing CO2 as a uncooked materials. For the manufacturing of polymers, the utilization potential of CO2 is estimated to be 10 to 50 Mt yr⁻¹ in 2050.
