polyethylene terephthalate polymer of biological origin, container of biological origin, and method of producing a polyethylene terephthalate polymer of biological origin.

摘要

A method of producing a bio-based polyethylene terephthalate polymer product comprising obtaining a diol component comprising ethylene glycol, obtaining a terephthalate component comprising terephthalic acid, wherein at least one of the diol component and/or the diol component is derived from at least one bio-based material, reacting the diol component and the terephthalate component to form a bio-based polyethylene terephthalate polymer comprising from about 25 to about 75 weight percent of the terephthalate component and from about 20 to about 50 weight percent of the diol component, and making a bio-based polyethylene terephthalate product from the bio-based polyethylene terephthalate polymer.
