Background
It is estimated, that renewable raw materials account for about 2 million tons or at least 10% of the whole organic chemical production in Germany.
On a quantitative basis fats, oils, starch and cellulose have the highest importance among renewable resources.
At the beginning of 2005, FESTEL CAPITAL carried out an interview-based market study to analyse the market potential and success factors of renewable raw materials, especially the fields of biopolymers, biolubricants and starch hydrolysis.
