ecorbio designs and develops innovative biochemical plants to produce bio polyol from biomass waste. The bio polyol, once used in synthesis, becomes polyurethane, a common plastic in many industrial sectors.
A «Bio Refinery» for sustainable and circular biochemicals
Polyurethane, from the large plastic family, produced via the synthesis with polyol, is widely used in the construction, automotive, furniture, nautical industries: we find it for example in the seats of our cars, in our sofas, glues, insulation foams, varnishes, coatings and paints, surfboards, sails… This polymer is mainly produced from petroleum derivatives or food crops that are harmful to the environment and biodiversity. In its technology, ecorbio uses “biorefinery” processes by recovering industrial biomass residues and waste, such as sewage sludge, to produce polyols (bios) that then produce a bio polyurethane.
The «Bio Raffinerie» ecorbio is a pioneer in the production of «bio» polyols, sustainable and circular. The team, made up of high-level engineers and researchers, all concerned about the environment and wanting to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, will soon be launching on the market and is ready to accompany industrialists in the transition of their production.
“We are the only team to have achieved promising results in the manufacture of waste biopolyols and we are happy to work for a more virtuous and environmentally friendly chemistry. The market is ready!”
