Paques Biomaterials is a Netherlands-based company developing and producing bio-based, fully biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Its technology uses natural microbial processes to convert organic residual streams into PHA, which is then extracted and formulated into polymer resins. These materials are designed to reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics and enable circular end-of-life options, including biodegradation in appropriate environments.
The company focuses on supplying PHA for use in applications such as packaging, consumer goods, agriculture, and specialty formulations. Paques Biomaterials operates along the full value chain from process development and piloting to scale-up, working with research and industry partners on compounding and application engineering. With an emphasis on sustainable chemistry and waste-to-materials conversion, the company contributes to the growing market for biopolymers within the chemical industry.
