NEXT BIOPLASTICS
COMMERCIALLY VIABLE BIOBASED AND BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC!
A novel & sustainable method to produce bioplastic from agricultural residues
BluCon Biotech GmbH provides a unique technology by which L-lactic acid can be produced at lowest possible production costs. This will enable the bioplastic PLA (poly lactic acid) to become commercially competitive to fossil fuel based plastics and convert millions of tons of nondegradable plastic waste into biodegradable, environmentally friendly products. Avoiding the use of sugars and therefore circumventing the competition with food supplies BluCon’s unique technology uses residues of the paper recycling and agricultural industries. This innovative fermentation process directly converts these raw materials into L-lactic acid. Besides developing BluCon technology to commercial stage, BluCon Biotech GmbH serves as a platform to acquire and develop further technologies in the field of applied biotechnology.
BluCon Biotech GmbH is a company that has developed a unique technology for producing L-lactic acid at low costs. It uses proprietary bacteria to digest lignocellulosic biomass and produce lactic acid, the building block of PLA, in one bioreactor. The innovative fermentation process developed by the company directly converts these raw materials into L-lactic acid. This is the first time this has been done in the world. This technology has the potential to make bioplastics such as poly lactic acid (PLA) competitive with fossil-based plastics and can help reduce the amount of non-degradable plastic waste by replacing fossil based plastics with biodegradable, sustainable products. BluCon's technology uses agricultural and industrial residues instead of sugars, which avoids competition with the food chain. The technology has a significant positive impact on the environment, carbon footprint and circular economy, and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
