DuPont makes Sorona (polytrimethylene terephthalate, PTT) biobased fibres (37% renewably sourced by weight) for carpet and apparel applications via continuous polymerisation of bio-PDO (1,3-propanedio...
l), which is made from fermented sugars, and terephthalic acid (TPA).
Sorona production uses 30% less energy and releases 63% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to the production of nylon 6, according to Michael Saltzberg, global business director for biomaterials at DuPont.
