| 20130046075 | PROCESS FOR GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONE PRODUCTION - A double-walled plastic jar for cosmetic materials, having an inner compartment to hold the cosmetic, and an annular outer side wall defining the exterior of the jar. The inner compartment carries the lip that seals with a screw cap, and also carries an external skirt, which latter has the screw threads for engagement by the cap. In addition, a weight is disposed in a-concealed manner in the base of the jar, between the walls, to give the jar a heft feel, characteristic of glass or thick plastic walls. | 02-21-2013 |

| 20150183708 | Renewable Acrylic Acid Production and Products Made Therefrom - Processes and methods for making biobased acrylic acid products including acrylic acid, acrylic acid oligomers, acrylic acid esters, acrylic acid polymers and articles from renewable carbon resources are described herein. | 07-02-2015 |
| 20150240273 | POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE COPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer composition is provided. The composition comprises a plurality of polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer molecules. The polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer molecules (i) comprise 3-hydroxybutyrate monomers and 4-hydroxybutyrate monomers, (ii) have a monomeric molar percentage of 4-hydroxybutyrate monomers of 23.5 to 75%, and (iii) have a biobased content of ≧80%. Also provided is a method of making a polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer composition. The method comprises culturing an organism in the presence of one or more carbon raw materials under conditions under which (a) the one or more carbon raw materials are converted to 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and (b) the 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and the 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA are polymerized to form the polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer molecules, thereby forming the composition. The organism has been genetically engineered to comprise particular enzymatic activities, and to not comprise other particular enzymatic activities. The one or more carbon raw materials, taken together, have a biobased content of ≧80%. | 08-27-2015 |
| 20150376152 | Process for Ultra Pure Chemical Production from Biobased Raw Starting Materials - Processes and methods for making ultra-pure (>99.50% by weight), biobased crotonic acid, gamma-butyro lactone, acrylic acid and delta-valerolactone from renewable carbon resources are described herein. | 12-31-2015 |
