May 15, 2025 - Jan 27, 2026
Description:
OzoneBio is at the forefront of developing sustainable materials through an innovative, emission-free process for producing bio-adipic acid, a key monomer in the production of Nylon 66. This project addresses the urgent global need to replace traditional petroleum-based polymers with bio-based alternatives that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Leveraging wood waste, a renewable resource, OzoneBio’s technology eliminates nitrous oxide emissions, which are 300 times more potent than CO2.
