Paques Biomaterials is a Netherlands-based company that develops and produces polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a family of fully biodegradable, bio-based polymers. Building on microbial fermentation expertise, the company uses bacteria to convert organic residues and other waste streams into PHA, which is then extracted and processed into polymer grades suitable for industrial use.
The company focuses on integrating circular, low‑carbon materials into existing value chains, offering alternatives to conventional, fossil-based plastics. Its PHAs target applications across packaging, agriculture, fibers and textiles, coatings, and personal care, where biodegradability and compostability are valued. Paques Biomaterials collaborates with industrial and academic partners and is scaling its technology from pilot to commercial production in the Netherlands.
