Bio-based Chemicals

Bio-based chemicals are materials produced from renewable biological sources, such as plants, algae, and microorganisms, instead of traditional fossil fuels. They serve as building blocks for manufacturing a wide range of products, including plastics, solvents, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. Using bio-based chemicals can reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable industrial practices. Advances in biotechnology enable the conversion of biomass into valuable chemicals efficiently, making these alternatives environmentally friendly and often biodegradable, thus supporting efforts toward a more sustainable and circular economy.
