The Use of CO2 in the Production of Bioplastics for an Even Greener Chemistry

The high life expectancy of the world population provokes increase in demand for food and energy. As a result, intense industrialization application fossil sources is responsible levels CO2 emission waste generation. To mitigate practical solution at very short term urgently needed. capture its chemical processes valorization residual biomass are great importance nowadays. selective carboxylation furoic acid production 2,5-furandicarboxylic (FDCA), bio-based monomer, has been an important step towards obtaining biopolymers to replace petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In this project report, we discuss on current challenges 2,5-FDCA precursor from furfural two main routes involving oxidation via heterogeneous catalysis. We present objectives research development more sustainable processes.
