Nieuwe methode productie plant-based drankflessen uit FDCA

VTT researchers have developed an environmentally sound and economical method for producing furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from plant sugars for the production of drinking bottles, paints and industrial resins, for example. This technology enables production of plant-based products. VTT has patented the method for producing FDCA, the monomer for PEF polymers, from sugar or sugar waste. Thanks to the solid acid catalyst and biobased solvent with short reaction time, the method provides a considerable reduction of toxic waste compared to traditional methods. The method can be scaled-up to industrial purposes without substantial investments (Nieuwsbericht VTT, 3 mei 2017).
