Also known as bio-muconic acid and (2Z,4Z)-hexa-2,4-dienedioic acid.
Patent for improved muconic acid commercialized; collaboration with Toray advanced bio-based adipic acid and pre-commercial Bio‑Nylon 6,6, supporting circular economy.
Turning agricultural residues into bio‑based chemicals; trialled at 50,000‑L fermentation scale; pilot‑scale bio muconic and adipic acid targeted by 2028; pathway to 100% bio‑based nylon 6,6 and expanded market access.
Cassava pulp was converted to bio-muconic, then bio-adipic acid and 100% bio-based nylon 66. Pilot saccharification, fermentation, refinement and lab polymerization.
