Cosun and Avantium Announce Collaboration
Date:1/21/2009

s approach, we clearly distinguish ourselves from existing bioplastics and biofuels production processes. By collaborating with Cosun, we gain access to organic waste streams and Cosun's proven expertise in processing agricultural feedstock."

Furanics

For a number of years, Avantium has been developing "Furanics", a new generation of bioplastics and biofuels. Furanics can be produced from biomass such as sugars and other carbohydrates. Avantium's Furanics bioplastics can be produced cheaper than oil-based plastics and they have attractive properties with the potential to replace traditional plastics in many existing applications. Avantium's Furanics biofuel program aims to develop a new generation of biofuels with both excellent properties (such as high energy density and mixability with conventional fuels) and competitive production costs.

Furanics are a sustainable alternative for materials and fuels that are currently produced from crude oil. By using Furanics, the dependence on crude oil decreases and CO2 emissions are reduced.
