Techint Engineering & Construction Builds Plants for bio-on’s Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Bioplastic
bio-on has selected Techint Engineering & Construction for building plants to produce Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) bioplastic.
This bioplastic is manufactured from the wastes of cane and sugar beet and is absolutely biodegradable. This technology developed by bio-on can be employed for large scale production of up to 10000 t per year. The team together will involve in the production of PHAs from the byproducts of agriculture at affordable costs without using organic solvents.
Henceforth, the conventional plastic producers can shift to the production of PHAs at an affordable cost in a quick manner. They have to acquire a license from bio-on in the first stage and construct a plant through Techint E&C in the second stage.
The Managing Director of bio-on, Marco Astorri said that the company’s technology teamed with the skill set of TECHINT E&C can be employed throughout the world to produce the biopolymer of PHAs, which are entirely biodegradable in water and soil.
Paolo Bigi, who serves as the CEO of TECHINT E&C commented that the company’s focus on the novel production methods for polymer has become strong due to this association. The method offers a great future for biopolymers and match well with the company’s vision for constructing industrial plants. Bio-on’s technology licensing together with Techint E&C will be beneficial to provide readily usable facilities for meeting the increasing demand of eco-friendly biopolymer like PHAs of bio-on.
bio-on focuses on modern applications of biotechnology to produce complete natural products from agricultural wastes or renewable sources.
