ly, biological methods. The Challenge: Adipic acid is a key ingredient used to make nylon-6,6, a durable plastic found in everyday items like clothing, car parts, and packaging. Today, adipic acid is mostly produced from petroleum in a process that releases harmful greenhouse gases, especially nitro
