Biotechnological conversion of food industry waste products into biodegradable polyesters
Original language description
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a group of polyester materials which are accumulated in the form of intracellular granules by a wide variety of bacterial strains. Due to their mechanical properties similar to those of plastics of petrochemical origin andtheir biodegradability, PHA are considered being an environmentally-friendly alternative to common plastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene. Moreover, thanks to their biocompatibility, PHA find many potential applications in medicine. However, thelimiting factor preventing PHA to enter the market is their high price as compared to polymers of petrochemical origin.
