Roboze at the International Summit on BioPolymers and Polymer Science

How can we make industrial production more sustainable?

In recent years, environmental concerns related to plastic waste and the high carbon footprint of fossil fuel-based polymeric materials have spurred industry interest towards developing green and renewable products to achieve a fully circular economy.

The replacement of conventional petroleum-based polymers with bio-based reinforcing fibers and matrices is relatively new, especially when it comes to high-performance polymers for the 3D printing industry.

Roboze has developed a new concept material: Roboze Bio-based PA is the first result of the company's commitment to developing products of sustainable origin with a reduced environmental impact.

We talk about it during the International Summit on BioPolymers and Polymer Science 2023 where Alessandra D'Anna, R&D Scientist and Compound Expert, talks about the state of the art of bio-based polymers printed with FFF 3D printing technology.

Although 3D printing of super polymer composites boasts many significant ecological attributes, a further step is needed to increase environmental sustainability and achieve a fully circular economy. At the International Summit on BioPolymers and Polymer Science I will present the technical challenges faced by the Roboze R&D team, the performance achieved by the Roboze Bio-based PA material and the next sustainability goals we are pursuing.
