Problem
Many industries rely on virgin fossil-based products, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Traditional manufacturing processes lack sustainable alternatives that can effectively utilize waste carbon dioxide (CO2) as a feedstock.
Solution
Loop CO2 offers a technology that transforms CO2 and bio-based raw materials into sustainable materials, incorporating 29% CO2 by weight. This process creates eco-friendly alternatives to virgin fossil-based products, including cosmetic oils (EcoGlow™), adhesives (CO2Bond™), thermoplastic polyurethanes (EcoStretch™ TPU), and polyols (CO2lyol™). These materials offer a pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a circular economy by utilizing CO2 as a valuable resource. The resulting polymers are tunable and recyclable, further minimizing environmental impact.
Target Audience
The primary customers are manufacturers in the cosmetics, adhesives, and polymer industries seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional fossil-based materials.
