Synthomer partners with Godavari on biobased alternatives to fossil-based monomers

In India, Synthomer has announced a new partnership with Godavari Biorefineries Limited to develop biobased alternatives to existing fossil‑based monomers. Through this partnership, Synthomer is commercializing biobased butyl acrylate using biobased butanol produced by GBL as feedstock.

 “Partnering with GBL enables us to offer customers a lower-carbon alternative to fossil-based monomers, helping them to meet their emissions targets while supporting the growing demand for more sustainable solutions,” Chris Brown, Vice President of ESG at Synthomer said in a press statement.”
