The recent news about METabolic EXplorer’s bankruptcy filing is disheartening for those who want to see more bio-based 1,3-propanediol in the market, and in general, for those who are trying to establish bio-based chemicals production in Europe, which has been facing high feedstock and energy costs. On a positive note, our top news in March is Hyosung TNC’s announced bio-based BDO investment in Vietnam. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in learning about bio-based Spandex, BDO, PDO, and glycerine markets.
