The Economic & Environmental Impacts of Poly(3-hydroxyproprionate).

This month, Novomer - a sustainable chemical manufacturing and products company - released a research paper on the "Economic and Environmental Impacts of Poly(3-hydroxyproprionate)." Because these polymers are found in nature, microbes have already developed mechanisms to break down these polymers. b Due to the economies of scale that typically drive cost positions in this market, the current cost position of biodegradable polymers - including Rinnovo - generally exceed those of non-biodegradable polymers.
