Abstract
An ex-ante Life Cycle Assessment was conducted to assess the cradle-to-factory gate environmental impact of polyethylenefuranoate (PEF). The two monomers used to synthesize a 100% bio-based PEF, namely 2,5- furan dicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) and mono ethylene glycol (MEG), are synthesized simultaneously from a novel electrochemical reactor using bio-based raw materials.
