Inventions and Innovators Spearheading Sustainable Plastics A view across the enabling technologies of Biodegradable polymers, Bio-based polymers, and Sustainable Plastics and Adhesives. Background An estimated 80% of the 8.3 billion tons of plastics produced globally since the 1950s has ended up in landfills or escaped into the environment. This comes at the detriment of the global ecosystem which is bearing the long-term consequences of the non-biodegradable nature of most plastics. Since 2015, the United Nations has been looking to directly tackle the issue by setting out Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These promote responsible consumption and production patterns, as well as improve living conditions on land and below water. Our ambition is to provide an objective perspective of the global leaders and innovators contributing to accomplishing the SDGs, through the utilization of published patent data. About this report Cipher’s unique Universal Technology Taxonomy scanned patent data to reveal the patent owners of critical technologies spearheading sustainable plastics. The results enabled us to provide our view of the leading innovators to watch based on recently-published inventions. We also applied overall weightings to enabling technologies. The technology areas covered in our report include: Biodegradable polymers Bio-based polymers Sustainable Adhesives. access the report Use cases enabled by patent analytics Become more effective at managing your patent portfolio, identify worldwide relevant patents and technology trends, assess the competitive landscape, and find partners and licensing opportunities. R&D and innovation Improve innovation with a clearly defined IP strategy that is connected to the business goals and alerts for new entrants and potential partners. learn more Competitiveintelligence & benchmarking Base decision making on true patent portfolio strength and quality indicators while relying on industry-proven KPIs to track your competitors’ progress. learn more Portfolio optimization Answer key questions to define international patent filing strategy, increase portfolio efficiency, and identify competitive strengths and weaknesses. learn more Disruptive technology scouting Identify disruptive innovations and promising startups to help you gain a competitive edge. learn more Risk assessment Stay one step ahead of your competition, disruptive technologies, important patent activity in China, and/or NPE threats. Efficiently assess the value or risk of acquisition targets. learn more Licensing & monetization With analytics on all patent portfolios in all technologies, you can evaluate your most valuable patents for licensing and even identify potential licensees. learn more Was this post helpful?
