Consortium develops alternative molecules for the plastics industry
The Organic Chemistry I research group at Bielefeld University, the Institute of Technical Biocatalysis at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and BASF SE are working as a consortium to develop a novel alternative to conventional plasticisers in PVC. The joint project "Bioplasticisers" was developed as part of the ideas competition "New Products for the Bioeconomy" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to develop plasticiser molecules for products that protect people and the environment.
