Summary
In the 21st century, consumers are increasingly demanding products that reflect their more sustainable values and lifestyles. There is a big demand for clean sustainable polymers on the global market. Adipic acid is the main building block of Nylon 6,6 ($28 billion market) high-performance polymer that is made from oil. Global adipic acid production results in toxic greenhouse gases N2O and CO2 release (~60 million tons/year). Therefore, it is important to develop green emission-free technology to replace oil-based Nylon 6,6. Within the OzoneBio, we use wood-derived feedstocks to produce bio-adipic acid through an emission-zero biocatalytic process.

Description
In the 21st century, consumers are increasingly demanding products that reflect their more sustainable values and lifestyles. There is a big demand for clean sustainable polymers on the global market. Adipic acid is the main building block of Nylon 6,6 ($28 billion market) high-performance polymer that is made from oil. Global adipic acid production results in toxic greenhouse gases N2O and CO2 release (~60 million tons/year).

Description (French)
Au XXIe siècle, les consommateurs exigent de plus en plus des produits qui reflètent leurs valeurs et leurs modes de vie plus durables. Il existe ainsi une forte demande de polymères propres et durables sur le marché mondial. L'acide adipique est le principal élément constitutif du Nylon 6,6 (marché de 28 milliards de dollars), un polymère très performant fabriqué à partir de pétrole. La production mondiale d'acide adipique entraîne le rejet de gaz à effet de serre toxiques, le N2O et le CO2 (~60 millions de tonnes/an). Il est donc important de mettre au point une technologie verte sans émission pour remplacer le Nylon 6,6 à base de pétrole. Dans le cadre de l'OzoneBio, nous utilisons des matières premières dérivées du bois pour produire de l'acide bioadipique par un procédé biocatalytique sans émission.
