Article Publication in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Our partner, VITO (Flemish Institute for Technological Research), published a research article titled “Hardener-dependent properties of twice renewable epoxy resins combining tailored lignin fractions and recycled BPA” in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (American Chemical Society).

The study has demonstrated the potential of combining recycled and bio-based components to create high-performance, renewable epoxy resins. Using bio-based lignin and recycled Bisphenol A (r-BPA), VITO’s researchers have developed new epoxy resins that maintain excellent performance, even with up to 30% lignin content.

This research aligns with our project’s objectives, which aim to use lignin as a raw material for producing bio-resins for sustainable coatings. The findings from this study support our mission to transition the paints and coatings industry from petrochemical to bio-based products, thereby enhancing sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

We acknowledge VITO’s contribution and look forward to further advancements as we explore and develop eco-friendly solutions for a more sustainable future. Stay tuned for more updates.
