How Does Catalysis Improve Environmental Sustainability?
Catalysis has a profound impact on the environmental footprint of packaging materials. By enabling more efficient chemical reactions, catalysts can reduce the amount of energy and raw materials required for production. Additionally, advances in [biodegradable polymers](href) and [bioplastics](href) are often driven by catalytic processes that convert renewable resources, such as plant-based feedstocks, into usable packaging materials. This shift helps to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decreases plastic waste.
