Futerro is a biotechnology and engineering company focused on the polylactic acid (PLA) value chain. It develops processes and technologies spanning lactic acid production, lactide synthesis, PLA polymerization, and chemical recycling, enabling bio-based alternatives to conventional fossil-derived plastics.
The company designs, licenses, and helps deliver integrated biorefineries and PLA production assets, and supplies PLA resins for applications such as packaging, fibers, 3D printing, and consumer goods. Futerro’s approach covers the full lifecycle of PLA, including molecular recycling to recover monomers, with an emphasis on renewable feedstocks and lower-carbon manufacturing routes.
Through R&D, engineering, and industrial partnerships, Futerro supports the deployment of PLA and circular technologies in Europe and internationally, aligning with regulatory and market shifts toward bio-based and recyclable polymers.
