Warum nicht-fossile Kunststoffe unverzichtbar sind - und machbar!
Erneuerbare Kohlenstoffe aus Recycling, Biomasse und CO2 können Europas Abhängigkeit von Fossilimporten beenden. (Teil 2 und Schluss) Die Zukunft der Chemie- und Kunststoffindustrie in der Europäischen Union hängt vorwiegend von den Energie- und Rohstoffpreisen, von Forschung und Entwicklung sowie vom Hochskalieren von Innovationen in Europa ab.

Die fossile Falle: Warum die Defossilisierung der Chemie unverzichtbar - und machbar - ist!
Erneuerbare Energie und Kohlenstoff für Klimaschutz, Unabhängigkeit, Resilienz und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. (Teil 1) Um eine chemische Industrie mit Netto-Null-Emissionen zu erreichen, sind zwei Dinge erforderlich: die Dekarbonisierung der Energieversorgung sowie die Defossilisierung der Rohstoffe. Erstens muss die Prozessenergie – die chemische Industrie ist einer der drei größten Energieverbraucher in der EU – nachhaltig erzeugt werden.
Sustainable Textiles – The Way Forward - bioplastics MAGAZINE
High dependence on fossil carbon, associated high carbon footprint, low recycling rates and microplastics: several solutions are emerging. By Michael Carus and Asta Partanen – nova institut, Hürth Germany The evolution of the demand for textile fibres from 1960 to the present day (see Figure 1 and Table 1) shows how the textile industry found itself in this dilemma.
Status and Outlook: Bio-based Polymers worldwide Expert insight into capacity developments, investments and new policy frameworks
Advertisement Abstract The global bio-based polymer industry is experiencing remarkable growth, with production capacity expected to increase significantly over the next five years. Driven by favorable policy frameworks, growing investments in regions such as China, Europe, the Middle East, and the US are boosting capacity expansion, particularly for polylactic acid (PLA) and other bio-based materials.

Man-Made Fibers International 1/2024 : Sustainable textiles – a long way to go
Michael Carus and Dr. Asta Partanen (Source: nova-Institute) The evolution of the demand for textile fibers from 1960 to the present day shows how the textile industry found itself in this dilemma. In 1960, around 95% of textile fibers were of natural origin, from bio-based carbon, and there was no problem with microplastics, all fibers were biodegradable. The explosion in demand – 460% between 1960 and 2020 – could only be met by synthetic fibers from the chemical and plastics industries.
