Front Cover: Upcycling of Agricultural Waste Stream to High‐Molecular‐Weight Bio‐based Poly(ethylene 2,5‐furanoate) (ChemSusChem 9/2024)

Graphical Abstract Orange peel and sugar beet pulp contain large quantities of pectin, which can be turned via galactaric acid into furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and its esters. In this work, we show the polymerisation of these FDCA esters into high-molecular-weight, 70—100 kg mol−1, poly(ethylene 2,5-furanoate) (PEF). PEF is an emerging bio-based alternative for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), widely used in, for example, packaging applications.

Cover Feature: Production of 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid Methyl Esters from Pectin‐Based Aldaric Acid: from Laboratory to Bench Scale (ChemSusChem 1/2024)

Graphical Abstract The Cover Feature shows the transformation of pectin-rich side streams, such as sugar beet pulp and citrus processing waste, into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) esters as bio-based monomers. Galactaric acid, produced from pectin by oxidative fermentation, is a stable intermediate which is further dehydrated into FDCA esters in high yields using solid acid catalysts.
