DMC Biotechnologies, Inc. and Toyobo Co., Ltd. entered into a multi-year collaboration agreement to develop a more sustainable, fermentation-produced, high volume chemical intermediate for use in a wide range of essential materials. This partnership brings together DMC’s expertise in precision fermentation with Toyobo’s extensive chemical and biotechnology process knowledge, along with their broad access to global markets.
Toyobo, one of Japan’s top makers of fibers and textiles, and Avantium, a Dutch scale-up renewable chemicals company that develops and commercializes a next generation biobased chemicals and bioplastic, yesterday announced their partnership on PEF polymerization and PEF films. The two companies have jointly developed thin films made from PEF, a 100% biobased plastic based on Avantium’s proprietary YXY technology for the production of FDCA.
