Biobased and Circular

Biobased feedstocks offer a large variety of (chemical) structures to build on. All chemical intermediates and products can be produced from these feedstocks. Some as (near or full) drop-ins, like succinic or adipic acid, competing on cost. Others as new entities, enabling e.g. better material properties, like modified fatty acids. In the entire biobased domain we are equipped to finding best routes and to developing them into economically feasible and sustainable processes.

For circular (post-consumer) feedstocks we suitably apply the same approach. Often the feedstock is better defined, ‘collects itself’, and is well priced. Loops will be closed, e.g. in carpets, furniture. Consumer goods will be manufactured and assembled with an open eye on suitability for recycling. The recyclates should resemble virgin feedstock. We can make it work !
