The Project

The project has ended in April 2020. For results and newsletters, please take a look at the "Downloads" section.

PHB2MARKET will develop 100 % renewable, high-value composite materials consisting of the bio-polymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and bio-based, multifunctional plasticizers (BMP). These materials will be made of sustainable industrial by-products or biomasses, using eco-efficient industrial biotechnology and chemical processes.

Step 1: Optimisation of biotechnological processes

Step 2: Compounding of high-value bio-composite material

Step 3: Injection moulding and 3D-printing
