Now Spanish biotechnology company when
biotech is giving organic waste a second
lease of Life. the company is using
bacteria to produce bioplastic, and the
company says they are capable of
processing the waste at its source, by
using a specific type of bacteria, to
create volatile fatty acids. they are
then used in a bioreactor to produce
bioplastic.
what we do is to take organic waste from
Agri food companies, and we prepare these
organic waste for a very special
bacteria . these bacteria have the ability
to eat the organic waste, and at the same
time to produce this biodegrave or
bioplastic for them for the bacteria.
this will be available bioplastic is
like an energy Reserve. so we optimize
and select the best bacteria that are
able to eat the bioplast by eat the
organic waste and produce these via the
wave of bioplasmic.
through an extraction and purification
process the bioplastic is ready to be
used in medical and technological
applications as well.
we can formulate our bioplastics to have
different applications, rigid
applications ,flexible applications and
the most important ones biomedical
applications because it’s biocompatible.
that means that if I put that way
plastic inside your body, you won’t do a
rejection so that’s really important.
the company uses eggshell sea oysters or
potato powder to achieve the desired
strength , stiffness and flexibility of
the bioplastic. the bioplastic can be
printed using a 3D printer to shape the
final product.
