Recent strategic developments in green and bio polyols market

The green and bio polyols market has undergone several significant developments, and a few of these have been mentioned below:

• In December 2021, Cargill acquired the majority of Croda's performance technologies and industrial chemicals business cash-free and debt-free. Cargill's bio-industrial footprint was significantly expanded as a result of the investment, allowing it to better serve industrial manufacturers looking for greener ingredient solutions.
• In September 2021, Dow Polyurethanes, a Dow business division, and Orrion Chemicals Orgaform, in collaboration with Eco-mobilier, H&S Anlagentechnik, and The Vita Group, opened a pioneering mattress recycling plant as part of the RENUVA programme.
• In June 2021, Cargill and HELM entered into a partnership to build the first commercial-scale, renewable BDO facility in the US to meet the rising customer demand. The new joint venture introduces QIRA, a bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO) that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 93% compared to conventional BDO. QIRA can be used to make spandex and other polyester-based chemical fibers, as well as biodegradable plastics, polyurethane coatings, sealants, and synthetic leathers, reducing their environmental impact.
