ReBiocycle: multiple recycling routes for PLA, PHA and Mater-bi
ReBiocycle: multiple recycling routes for PLA, PHA and Mater-bi The ReBioCycle project wants to show the multiple recycling routes for PLA, PHA and Mater-bi. The different routes are mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, enzymatic recycling, microbial recycling and thermal degradation. ReBioCycle aims to demonstrate that bio-based biodegradable plastics can be kept in the cycle for as […]
Promofer: state-of-the-art in biobased waste treatments
Promofer: state-of-the-art in biobased waste treatments PROMOFER will address the improvement of fermentation processes and downstream purification for the production of biobased bioplastics as PHB(V) and biobased polyurethane by valorising two kinds of feedstock (lignocellulosic biomass and food industry residual streams). Increasing the yield and productivity of these processes are essential for an introduction of […]
PRO-PHBV: an outlook in our future biobased society.
PRO-PHBV: an outlook in our future biobased society. Within the PRO-PHBV project, we are developing two applications that show the unique characteristics of biobased materials and offer an outlook in our future biobased society. The first application is a waste-based and biobased leather composite, and the second is a biodegradable nature restoration structure. 1. Waste-based […]
Development of biodegradable controlled-release fertilizers
Development of biodegradable controlled-release fertilizers Biodegradable controlled-release fertilizers are a very relevant application for us because of an enormous market pull that is expected within two years. The European Commission has recently also acknowledged the microplastic pollution caused by fertilizers with fossil-based plastic, and consequently, they have set up regulations that will finally prohibit the […]
JTF: Market-driven synthesis of fit-for-purpose bioplastics (PHBVs)
JTF: Market-driven synthesis of fit-for-purpose bioplastics (PHBVs) This JTF project aims to deepen our knowledge of the wide variety of PHBVs that can be produced from waste streams and their full potential for different applications. The project has been granted nearly €4 million. The total investment of this project is €8 million. We will be […]
PHA2USE: Our first step in scaling up our technology
PHA2USE project: Our first step in scaling up our technology In the last four years, we have cooperated with 5 Dutch Water boards in building and operating the PHA biomass demo plant in Dordrecht, our first step in scaling up our technology. The feedstock was focused on microbes from municipal wastewater. The demonstration plant in […]
Producing PHA from agri-food side streams in collaboration with Looop
Producing PHA from agri-food side streams in collaboration with Looop Together with Looop, we are collaborating on a project focused on producing PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) from agri-food side streams. Looop is an independent (knowledge) partner and supplier of these side streams from the agri-food sector. It is hardly surprising that we have found each other and […]

New ReBioCycle project on novel recycling and upcycling solutions for bioplastics
New ReBioCycle project on novel recycling and upcycling solutions for bioplastics Berlin, 2 October 2024 – The new EU-funded ReBioCycle project provides a portfolio of bioplastic sorting and recycling technologies within three complementary waste-processor-centric hubs. These hubs will be established for different technologies and technology readiness levels (TRL) in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and partly […]
Kick-off PROMOFER project CBE JU call
Last week, the PROMOFER project kicked off in Valencia. We are very excited to be part of this new project funded by Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) call.
