Summary
The American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC), launched in 2024, has published its first paper in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering. The paper identifies challenges and opportunities in advancing sustainable materials from natural polymers for commercial use. It serves as a call for collaboration across industry, academia, and government to address the underresearched topic of scaling natural polymer-based materials for real-world applications.
