At Bioplastech Ltd. we specialise in the development, scale-up and sale of innovative bio-based products including biodegradable polymers.
Bioplastech also provides industrial biotechnological consulting services supporting customers in the development, improvement and scale-up of their biological processes.
We see biotechnology as a key pillar of innovation that will transform our society from a linear to a circular and biobased economy.
We use our expertise in fermentation, biocatalysis, protein engineering, metabolic engineering and downstream processing to develop, patent and license products such as biobased chemicals and/or biodegradable polymers.
At Bioplastech we have developed processes that use residues/wastes as starting materials for biodegradable polymers and plastics production. The conversion of residues to biodegradable materials contributes to the circular (bio)economy.
We value partnership and work closely with our customers to develop and deliver high quality services and products.
At Bioplastech we use biotechnology to produce biobased compostable polymers (PHAs) and monomers, such as lactic acid, which is used to make the compostable plastic PLA.
We have developed and patented high-productivity processes and applications using medium-chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). PHA is an umbrella name for a wide range of polymers that have a broad range of properties. A PHA polymer can be hard and highly crystalline (PHB), soft and rubber-like (mclPHA) or liquid and amorphous (mclPHA).
Biopolymer applications
We have developed patented adhesive and biosurfactant applications based on PHAs
