๐๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ that some bacteria can help produce bio-based polymers?
One of the core outputs of SOWISE+ is PHBV, a member of the PHA family of polymers. PHAs are produced through biological processes and can be used as building blocks for bio-based materials.
๐๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ that urban waste can become the starting point for new bio-based materials?
SOWISE+ is working to demonstrate a new model where urban biowaste is not treated only as waste, but as a valuable resource.
