Indorama Ventures sees bio sources & circular economy as important instruments in combating climate change and an opportunity to strengthen its business globally.
This lecture focuses on replacing fossil fuel-based feedstock with bio-based/circular feedstock for technical fiber applications like tire cords and industrial yarns for automotive applications.
It discusses bio-based polymer versus virgin polymer. This covers polymer quality and properties as well as yarn properties that are derived from industrial spinning trials.
Which bio-source will meet the demands for economic and ecological fiber production best?
