Chemists in the biobased industry are tackling our unsustainable environmental and socioeconomic reliance on petroleum, which continues to be the primary feedstock for a wide range of products. The biobased industry is mostly focused on biofuels, but the sector is growing. Biobased chemicals can be utilized as building blocks for bioplastics and other materials such as coatings, paints, and adhesives. Bio-based chemicals, which are defined as chemical compounds generated entirely or partially from biological materials, can play an essential role. Furthermore, they have the potential to replace compounds of great concern, such as phthlalate-based plasticisers and harmful volatile organic solvents like N-methylpyrrolidone or toluene. Biobased alternatives exist for all carbon-based basic compounds.
