One way to overcome the industry's dependence on fossil carbon is to substitute crude oil and natural gas with renewable carbon within the existing structures of the chemical industry. Other ways require innovation, the development of new processes, building blocks and materials. This means a new way of thinking about chemistry and materials. Ready-to-use, fossil-free, sustainable material solutions with a low carbon footprint are in rapidly growing demand. Innovative brand owners are looking for such solutions, especially those that will soon become mainstream.
Covation Biomaterials LLC, Grifton, NC/USA, has been nominated for the Renewable Materials of the Year 2023 award with CovationBio Sorona.
