This week we take a look at alternative (and possibly more sustainable) organic #feedstocks for the #fermentation industry and whether they are the future for bio manufacturing.
We take a stroll down memory lane (well May this year at World Bio Markets) and learn about the benefits and applications for bio hydroxy polymers and our newsroom is filled with the latest stories on how #biochar can reduce emissions, a big aviation SAF project, and how #tech is making it possible to make #bioleather from, well, leather.
Is our newsletter any good? What score out of 10 would you give us? Feel free to drop paul@worldbiomarkets.com a line with your thoughts and improvement areas... always striving to be better!
FEATURE STORY
Chemicals from thin air: gas fermentation and the future of bio-manufacturing
Because it avoids petrochemical feedstock or eco-toxic synthetic compounds, fermentation biomanufacturing has been trapped as a way of greening the chemicals industry and reducing its reliance on oil through exploiting renewable inputs and live organisms as the mechanisms to create consumer compounds.
Derived from corn, the sustainable packaging will accompany all PerfectCLEAN products by early next year, and it is being rolled out with select products now.
Biochar can help reduce global carbon emissions, says new study
Biochar presents a circular approach to tackling climate change, allowing countries to maximize their carbon removal potential while boosting national revenues.
Boeing, NASA, United to test sustainable aviation fuel
The project is the latest phase in a multi-year partnership between Boeing and NASA to analyze how SAF can reduce emissions and enable other environmental benefits.
ARKEMA makes its bio-based polyamide 11 production greener
The company decreased by 46% the carbon footprint of its bio-based Rilsan® polyamide 11 by using renewable or low carbon energy sources and by making several energy efficiency improvements in its production sites.
New tech makes bio-based leather from leather waste
reProLeather separates chromium VI from the shredded leather fibres and creates a bio-based alternative to the PU and PVC binders, creating a new form of recycled leather that is biodegradable and recyclable.
