Materials: From fossil based to bio-based
Ulrica Edlund Professor Fiber- and Polymer Technology KTH, Royal Institute of Technology
The advanced polymer material age
The age of growing global awareness :
Need for sustainability!
1. Do we need this product?
2. Material source?
3. Material health?
4. Material reutilization?
Sustainability in a material context

Bio-based plastics ∼ 1 %
Rethinking the source of polymeric materials
Biomass – Biorefinery – Biopolymer materials
The biorefinery concept:
To make more from less
Understanding biomass chemistry help us use them wisely
Materials from wood hemicellulose biomass
