Burlington, Ontario-based EcoSynthetix Inc. has secured a $2.1 million funding award from Sustainable Development Technology Canada to support the development and commercialization of its novel biobased EcoMer monomer technology platform, which has the potential to address a $30 billion target market across multiple industrial applications such as toners, water-based inks, water-based paints and coatings, surfactants and pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA).

Green chemistry using renewable raw materials has value in itself as a business that is complementary (as opposed to alternative) to traditional chemistry; some of the applications, in their environmental performance and/or practical use, offer a clear advantage over what synthetic plastics can offer.
Here is a post gathering all new bio building blocks and bio-polymers releases over the last few months. We distinguish three types of products, those that already are commercialized or very close to be, those that are still being developed and the fundamental findings that have recently been published. Sugar-based chemicals for example can be used as building blocks to produce new monomers, polymers and additives for the commercial plastics industry. The monomeric products can be either incorporated in the backbone of new polymers or converted to low molar mass additives for thermoplastics and thermosets or as specialty chemicals.
No matter the maturity of those projects they all prove the activity of the bio-based plastic industry.
