Chemistry is key – to a circular economy

Klaas-Jan Schouten, Volta program manager, Avantium

What if we could live in a world without excess CO₂, and where chemistry is a positive word? Using chemistry we can replace fossil feedstock by using carbon from plants and from CO₂. In this way, chemistry can provide us with a sustainable & circular economy. But with a sustainable chemical industry we are not there yet! We need completely new value chains and new business models to create a circular economy.  Chemistry, technology, and business will come together in this talk about a circular economy based on renewable carbon.
