Paraxylene (PX) is a key building block for the production of polyester, which is used for the production of fabrics, films, and packaging materials.
It is traditionally derived from petroleum-based sources, but recently, bio-based PX has been gaining significant attention due to its potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the associated emissions.
Bio-based PX is derived from renewable biomass sources such as sugarcane and corn, which are fermented and hydrolyzed to produce xylose. This xylose is then catalytically converted into a mixture of PX and isomers, which can be further purified to obtain pure PX.
The production of bio-based PX is more energy-efficient and cost-effective than traditional petroleum-based PX. The use of renewable biomass sources also provides a much lower carbon footprint and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to its petroleum-based counterpart.
Furthermore, bio-based PX can be used as a drop-in substitute for the petroleum-based version, making the transition to a more sustainable alternative easier.
In addition to the environmental benefits, bio-based PX also has the potential to create new economic opportunities. It can be used to create new value-added products, such as biodegradable plastics or bio-based fabrics, which can open up new markets for businesses.
Furthermore, the production of bio-based PX can also create jobs in the renewable energy sector.Overall, bio-based PX is a promising alternative to petroleum-based PX, offering environmental and economic benefits that could help to create a more sustainable future.
The Global Bio-Based Paraxylene market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Renewable sugarcane is used to create REXPEELTM PX 8192, a bio-based paraxylene (PX). The goal of this new DowDuPont product is to make it possible to produce more renewable and sustainable materials for the petrochemical and plastics industries.
Alternatives to standard paraxylene and other petrochemicals that are based on fossil fuels include REXPEELTM PX 8192, which is 100 percent biobased, non-GMO, and renewable.
As a cost-effective substitute for conventional petrochemical-based materials, REXPEELTM PX 8192 not only offers superior performance but is also more environmentally friendly.
When compared to conventional petrochemical-based paraxylene, it also delivers significant energy savings. It is best to use this product in industries including consumer products, packaging, and transportation and automotive.
BioAmber, a leader in bio-based chemicals, manufactures Bio-PXTM, a bio-based paraxylene. It is a sustainable, renewable replacement for conventional paraxylene that is derived from fossil fuels.
A paraxylene molecule is produced by a proprietary process that turns feedstocks derived from plants that are renewable and responsibly harvested into Bio-PXTM.
In this method, the required molecule is produced by combining chemical synthesis with fermentation. The finished product is both economically and environmentally sound.
Bio-PXTM has uses in the plastics and coatings sectors and can be utilised as a precursor to a number of petrochemical products. BioAmber is dedicated to giving clients access to affordable, eco-friendly solutions while working to build a more sustainable future.
