Circular biopolymers: unveiling the routes from innovation to application
Chair: dr. Raquel Gonçalves Barbosa, scientific project manager Wetsus, Cora Uijterlinde, Program manager Wastewater Systems, STOWA
Learn how to start a biomaterial revolution in session 1.5! From applied research of the biological plastic-substitute to in-practise tests and application. This session on the bacterial PHA shows you the best practices and lessons learned from extracting polymers to the material science of it, what large scale demos can teach us. The full roadmap to bring a new material to the market.
