ICIS Chemical Business podcast November 21, 2011

The issue of ICIS Chemical Business for the week of November 21, 2011, has a special section on “green chemicals,” with a cover story on the expansion of bioplastics: more major brands are switching to bio-based materials. There are also articles on the return of natural rubber, and the increased use of sustainable materials in Asia-Pacific. Elsewhere in the latest issue we look at: the slump in European benzene; polypropylene prices falling on cheaper feedstocks; alternative fuels for the aviation industry; increasing Asian naphtha prices; and more.
