Arkema secured ISCC PLUS mass balance certification for its Pasir Gudang Malaysia resins plant (Feb 2025) and brought a $20M Rilsan® Clear transparent polyamide unit online in Singapore (Q1 2026, 45-62% bio-based carbon from castor oil); Lanxess launched a sustainable Mesamoll® version with bio-mass raw materials and presented Vulkanox 4060 (6PPD alternative) at Tire Technology Expo 2026 (Hannover, March). ESO/ESBO dominates on volume (Cargill US, VVF India, Shandong Longkou China), approved for food-contact PVC under FDA 21 CFR 178 and EU REACH.https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/food-biopolymers-starches-polysaccharides/Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/food-biopolymers-starches-polysaccharides/B2B food-grade biopolymers — modified starches, plant-protein isolates and hydrocolloids — produced by reactive extrusion, wet fractionation and isopropanol precipitation for texture, structure and clean-label formulation across the food industry.https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/alternative-thickeners-fermented-gums/Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/alternative-thickeners-fermented-gums/Precision-fermented hydrocolloids — xanthan, gellan, welan and pullulan — grown by bacteria on corn syrup or molasses instead of extracted from guar beans or animal gelatin, delivering pseudoplastic thickening for food, cosmetics and drilling fluids without the climate-driven supply volatility of crop-based gums.https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/deep-grain-processing/Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/deep-grain-processing/Wet milling and enzymatic hydrolysis convert corn and wheat into maltodextrin, glucose syrups, modified starches and fermentation-derived feed amino acids (lysine, threonine), replacing petrochemical and animal-protein inputs across food, feed and industrial B2B supply chains.https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/bio-based-polyols-biopolyurethanes/Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/bio-based-polyols-biopolyurethanes/Renewable hydroxyl-functional building blocks from vegetable oils, lignin and cashew nutshell liquid that replace petrochemical polyols and isocyanates in flexible foams, coatings, TPU and elastomers — closing the carbon loop of a >$90 bn polyurethane market.https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/marine-peptides-nutraceuticals/Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://en.bioecon.ru/technology/marine-peptides-nutraceuticals/Bioactive peptides, low-molecular-weight collagen and omega-3 recovered from fishery by-catch (heads, skin, bones) by enzymatic hydrolysis, tangential ultrafiltration and spray-drying — a circular-blue-economy stack for nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and functional food.
