Biopolymers from syngas fermentation (SYNPOL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"SYNPOL aims to propel the sustainable production of new biopolymers from feedstock. SYNPOL will thereto establish a platform that integrates biopolymer production through modern processing technologies, with bacterial fermentation of syngas, and the pyrolysis of highly complex biowaste (e.g., municipal, commercial, sludge, agricultural). The R&D activities will focus on the integration of innovat ...

A novel and efficient method for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer-based packaging from olive oil waste water (OLI-PHA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), naturally produced polyesters, are gaining attention in the biodegradable polymer market due to their high biodegradability and versatility. They display sufficient functional properties to replace some of the 250 MTs of plastics used worldwide today, especially in the substitution of PET, which is widely used in soft drink bottles to electronics casing. A key challen ...
