Catalyst technology to capture and reuse carbon dioxide in polyols and polymers has won Novomer the award for Innovation with Best Environmental Benefit.

Waltham, Massachusetts, US-based sustainable polymer specialist Novomer has developed a technology platform that produces valuable, high-performance polymers from waste carbon dioxide. Novomer's process is based on an innovative catalyst system that uses CO2 as a primary raw material in the ­production of polypropylene and polyethylene carbonates that contain between 43 and 50% CO2 by weight.
