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.

Roboze Bio-based PA at the International Summit on BioPolymers and Polymer Science

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.
