TE001 Innovation in Sustainable Processes II
OverviewThis session is devoted to process or product innovations, with emphasis on modeling and/or polymerization systems, where Sustainable Development has played a key role in decision making and project justification, including new innovations offering enhanced “sustainability” relative to the products or processes being replaced, or optimization of existing processes which results in footprint reduction. Examples include new or modified processes with reduced CO2 footprint, higher carbon efficiency, and/or reduced use or generation of toxic components.
