  1. Application driven R&D on PHA Cor Kamminga 09.10.2019

  2. What is PHA? • Biobasedandbiodegradable plastic • Synthesisedby a broad range of bacteria • Utilizingvarious bio-derivedfeedstocks, including waste Source: European Bioplastic

  3. Why PHA? Promisingsubstituteforfossil-based plastics • Biodegradable in various environments • both aerobic andanaerobicconditions • Tunable property set • canbetailoredtospecificapplications • More than 150 types of PHAs • allowsfor a large design space • Organic waste products as feedstock • reducing dependance on primarycrops

  4. Why PHA? • Increased market demandfrom clients • Predictionsfuture market PHA • Highestrelativeincrease (togetherwith bio PET)  Production is expectedto triple ~30,000 t/year Source: Alaerts, L.;Augustinus, M.;Van Acker, K. Impact of Bio-Based Plastics on Current Recycling of Plastics (2018), Sustainability

  5. Large PHA producers globally

  6. Productioncapacity (1) 136 t/year (4) Signed large agreement with IKEA Research/pilot scale (5) (2) FormerMetabolix = 53,136 t/year (1) • Sources: • L-J. Vandi, C.M. Chan, A. Werker, D.

  8. International PHA project

  9. International PHA project • PHA R&D, production, and applications • Application driven research • Based on existing applications produced by various companies in Europe • Wastewater from the paper & pulp industry as feedstock • Existing processing techniques (injection moulding, spinning, extrusion, etc.) Large companies Knowledge institutes SME’s

  10. Workshop PHA Moving forward: • Bring all (potential) partners together • Become familiar with the proposed project idea • Work out the format of the project (a concept plan) • Goal of the workshop: • Participation in project – on what terms and expectations • On which joint goals the parties can find each other • Distribution of tasks • Possibly missing parties? • Defining possible funding • Participants (per 1 October) • H&P Moulding • Low & Bonar • Senbis • Medex • Linotech • SuikerUnie • HempFlax • Paques • Promiko • Fraunhofer IAP • Technical University Berlin • Karlstad University • NHL Stenden • Rijksuniversiteit Groningen • The Paper Province
