MATERIALs SCIENCE

AFYBIO™ acids are 100% biobased with reduced carbon footprint used as building-blocks, offering sustainable solutions for material science

Challenges

The global population keeps growing and should reach 11.2 billion people before the end of the century. One of the consequences will be an increase in demand for natural and environmentally friendly products with reduced carbon footprints.

Today the main concern and innovation driver for companies in the materials science industry is to develop sustainable, smart, and responsive materials that also offer improved physical properties. Novel formulations, including biomaterials, impart new functionalities to existing materials while expanding the scope of innovation. Companies in the construction, automotive, packaging, and manufacturing sectors are integrating sustainable materials and involving renewable energy sources into their processes. Eventually, these efforts aim to lessen the burden of waste on the planet. Sustainable materials also provide a boost for circular systems and allow for the implementation of a circular economy.
