“Rising Adoption of Sustainable Feedstocks in Bio-Based Platform Chemicals”
- The market is shifting toward using sustainable feedstocks such as agricultural waste, biomass, and non-food crops to reduce dependence on petroleum-based resources
- For instance, Cargill has invested heavily in biomass-based chemical production to support greener alternatives
- Environmental concerns and regulations focused on lowering carbon emissions are driving adoption of renewable raw materials across the chemical industry
- Investment is growing in technologies that efficiently convert biomass into high-value chemicals, supporting circular economy principles and reducing waste
- Novozymes is a key player developing enzyme technologies that enhance the breakdown and conversion of biomass into valuable chemical products, improving process efficiency
- BASF collaborates with partners to produce bio-based chemicals from agricultural residues
- For instance, their joint projects focus on turning crop waste into sustainable chemical building blocks for industrial use
