The Netherlandspaquesbiomaterials.nl
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.

Targeting: PHA (1)
Reusable festival cup moulded from locally produced PHA (Caleyda) for the first time; material validated for processing and food-contact approval preparations underway.
Pilot will produce PHA-rich biomass to feed the Caleyda® extraction pilot in Emmen, supplying material for application development, validation and quality testing.
EFRO-funded plesTic Ready backs an exploration of food-grade certification for mixed-culture PHA from organic residual streams with value‑chain partners.
PHA biopolymer integrated into asphalt boosts bitumen performance and durability, enables circular supply, replaces fossil components, sequesters ~2 kg CO2/kg polymer, and aids 2030/2050 goals.
Joint development plan and conditional offtake to fast‑track lab-to-industrial pilots, certification and scale‑up of next‑gen biodegradable materials; validation in 2026, supply from 2028.
In partnership with Looop, pilot will convert dairy by‑products (third validated sidestream after sewage sludge and paper process water) into PHA biomass and polymers, aiming for Q1 2026.
PRECEDING project, funded by RVO's TSE program, will deliver conceptual design and business case to commercialize PHA from organic side streams as a natural alternative to fossil plastics.
Raised funds will scale up biopolymer production, leveraging wastewater technology. New facility in Emmen to produce biodegradable PHA, with significant market growth expected by 2028.
