Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA)

FDCA is a bio-based platform chemical that serves as a renewable alternative to terephthalic acid (TPA), the key monomer in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) production. When polymerized with ethylene glycol, FDCA forms polyethylene furanoate (PEF) — a 100% bio-based...

Vanillin Production from Lignin via Enzymatic or Chemical Conversion

Vanillin, the primary component of vanilla flavor, is widely used in food, beverages, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally sourced from vanilla beans or synthesized from petrochemicals (like guaiacol), vanillin can also be produced from lignin — an abundant,...

Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) Production from FDCA and Ethylene Glycol

Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) is a 100% bio-based polyester made from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and ethylene glycol (EG). Often dubbed the “bio-PET alternative,” PEF offers superior gas barrier properties, higher mechanical strength, and full recyclability....
