Sus­tain­able Feed­stocks for the Future of Chem­ic­als & Plastics

Decar­bon­isa­tion and the search for sus­tain­able feed­stocks for the future of chem­ic­als and plastics pro­duc­tion is a top pri­or­ity for the industry. In fact, most major play­ers & con­sumer brands have set sig­ni­fic­ant tar­gets and pur­su­ing nov­el approaches to reduce their car­bon foot­print across the value chain. In addi­tion, reg­u­lat­ors are also push­ing for sus­tain­ab­il­ity through ini­ti­at­ives such as the European Green Deal. Coupled with rising energy cost, there is an urgency to phase out fossil-based chem­ic­al feed­stocks and trans­ition to renew­ables and build up sup­plies of sus­tain­able feed­stocks. How­ever, the main chal­lenge is loc­at­ing and secur­ing altern­at­ive feedstocks.
