Biopolymers
Biopolymers are plastics that are either biobased or biodegradable in specific environments, such as soil, salt water or industrial composting
Our developments within biopolymers and materials
At Chemport Europe biopolymers and products thereof are being developed and sometimes already produced today. DSM already produces a biobased nylon, EcoPaXX PA410, from castor oil in Emmen. This high-performance biopolymer is used in automotive applications for example. BioBTX develops monomers that can be used to produce biobased PET which is developed in cooperation with Cumapol out of glycerine coming from Sunoil Biodiesel.
Working with SPIC-Emmen
The companies active in sustainable polymer development and production started an initiative called SPIC-Emmen, joining forces to develop, produce and market sustainable plastic solutions. These partners also offer their R&D facilities open to the market to accelerate polymer innovations together. SPIC Emmen is part ofthe Chemical Cluster in Emmen.
