Dear Readers,

Great news from the ViSS project!

As we reach month 22, we have achieved substantial breakthroughs in our mission to create sustainable bioplastics.

We have successfully optimized the PHBV production process, from initial feedstock to final purified product. This means we’re now more efficient in:

  • Generating volatile fatty acids from sugar waste.
  • Producing PHBV from diverse waste streams, including volatile fatty acids, sugar waste, and poultry waste.
  • Extracting and purifying the PHBV for high quality.

The Consortium is now dedicated to the next crucial steps: formulating and compounding the PHBV, and constructing the ViSS DEMO plant. Our recent meeting in Barcelona provided a productive forum to propel these efforts forward.
