From biobased paints, inks and chemicals to biofuels and renewable
construction materials, the Carbohydrate Economy Clearinghouse provides
one-stop shopping for information on the latest developments in this new
materials economy. It is produced by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a nonprofit that provides technical assistance and information on environmentally sound economic development strategies.
The clearinghouse includes information on hundreds of plant matter-derived products and the companies who manufacture them. Some of the topics it covers from this emerging green economic sector are: industrial uses for biobased chemicals, the state of the industrial hemp industry, and why ethanol may be increasing its market share.
