Michelin announced exclusive partnership talks with Axens to industrialize 5-HMF, a bio-based molecule for green chemistry. The strategic plan aims for large-scale rollout as a feedstock for resins and polymers, potentially replacing fossil-derived chemicals. The first production unit in France targets 3,000 tonnes annually, with commissioning expected in early 2027.
