Product Overview
Renewable chemicals, also known as bio-based chemicals are produced from natural and bio-based raw materials. They are obtained from agricultural feedstock, agricultural waste, organic waste products, biomass, and microorganisms. Renewable chemicals have emerged as potential substitutes for petroleum-based chemicals as they offer fewer carbon footprints and are ecofriendly. Some of the commonly used renewable chemicals include polymeric (lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, starch, protein) and monomeric (carbohydrates, oils, plant extractives, amino acids) components. Renewable chemicals are utilized in surfactants and lubricants, consumer goods, resins, and plastics for environmental purposes. Renewable chemicals find application in various chemical industries such as housing, environment, transportation, food processing, pharmaceutical, textiles, and others.
