Corbion produces biobased chemicals from first generation feedstocks (sugars), which are renewable agricultural sources, such as, for example, sugarcane, corn and wheat. The use of bio-based raw materials instead of fossil-based resources to produce chemicals supports the transition to a circular economy. Currently, 98% of Corbion’s raw materials are bio-based and its target for 2030 is to keep the percentage above 95%. Corbion is exploring further R&D opportunities of using alternative feedstock sources such as sugars from wood and agro-residues, bagasse, municipal solid waste/cellulose derived sugars, food industry side-streams that are less pure. Today, the scale is small and technology readiness is low, however through open collaboration with technology providers and sugar suppliers, and the provision of feed and off-take options, Corbion aims to stimulate the development of commercial-scale supply chains of G2 and G3 feedstocks in the coming decade.
