Biodegradable polymer designed as petrochemical replacement |
|
Two giants of the ingredients business this week opened a US plant to produce a biodegradable polymer designed to replace petrochemicals in cosmetics and personal care products.
DuPont and Tate & Lyle are not being shy in labeling their Bio-PDO facility in Loudon, Tenn. as the "dawn of industrial biotechnology".
The companies are attempting to cater to the rising demand for environmentally friendly products in the cosmetics and personal care markets.
