The project WASTE2PLASTICS was initiated by the need to develop advanced bioprocesses for the management and valorization of industrial wastes/wastewaters and waste biomass into the concept of a circular economy approach. Novel technologies will be developed that will valorize different types of wastes/wastewaters towards bio-based, biodegradable polymers i.e. polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which upon extraction from the microbial cells and purification will be formulated either to food packaging articles or to eco-friendly and fully biodegradable garbage bags.
