Potential to produce bio-plastics from poplar trees
Bio-based products such as bio-plastics are used in the cosmetics industry by a number of leading brands in their packaging ..
GreenEnergyPark™‘s insight:
Coal and oil are nothing but fossilised biomass … why is it surprising that fresh biomass could be used to replace products made from oil/coal/gas? E.g. Polyethylene is already successfully made from sugar cane. .. furfural can be converted to Lycra or Nylon and many other polymers/chemicals.
