The upcoming economic transformation towards a more sustainable use of materials and
energy to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions will be an
outstanding challenge for the next decades. Key drivers influencing these ambitions for
transition is customer expectations, approaching regulations, and the intrinsic motivation
to design state of the art of sustainable chemistry. In this context there ar e different
approaches to drive innovation in this field. One important aspect is the integration of
biobased materials as a key strategy for reducing emissions. The presentation showcases
different categories of biobased materials and gives an overview o f product examples
where integration of biobased materials is feasible. Going beyond the challenge of
biobased materials us age for textile application, the difficult quantification of emission
savings, as well as possible negative impacts arising from the increased demand of
biobased raw materials, is highlighted.
