An ethylene-butylene copolymer prepared from integrated processes for the production of ethylene-butylene copolymers produced from at least one renewable natural raw material, wherein, in the ethylene monomer used in the polymerization of the ethylene copolymer with 1-butylene, as the comonomer, ethylene is obtained by the ethanol dehydration reaction, in which ethanol is produced by the fermentation of sugars, and the 1-butylene comonomer is obtained according to at least one of dehydration reactions involving 1-butanol and the dimerization reaction of ethylene produced by the dehydration of ethanol obtained from the fermentation of sugars, followed by the isomerization of the 2-butylene isomers then formed. The ethylene-butylene copolymer thus produced is completely based on carbon atoms originated from renewable natural raw materials which, upon incineration, produce CO2 from a non-fossil origin. |
