PHA

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.

Bio-based paper food-packaging with strong grease barrier at low coat weights. Recyclable and home-compostable. Runs on existing packaging lines; suited to bakery/fast-food

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.

PHA dispersion technology advances for compostable, recyclable packaging, achieving pilot-scale success and compatibility with standard paper-drying, enhancing film formation and durability.

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.

Adds fermentation‑based PHA/PLA biopolymers, two US facilities (200,000+ sq ft) and 480+ patents to broaden sustainable materials and accelerate R&D and scaling.
