Biobased polymers use growing

According to a report from IDTechEx, biobased polymers, a class of polymers that are manufactured from a biomass source rather than from an oleochemical source, will grow twice as fast as petrochemical polymers in the next five years. “Biobased Polymers 2018-2023: A Technology and Market Perspective” discusses the technology and market trends that are driving the growth in production. The report takes an in-depth look into the diverse range of biobased polymers, from established to nascent, providing detailed case studies of leading-edge companies developing the technology, while pulling together related polymer classes. An overview of the latest tools utilized in the field of synthetic biology is also provided.
