PHBottle Project keeps rolling<br />

Logoplaste Innovation Lab is part of a Consortium brought together to develop<br />
a bottle, where the raw material is entirely made from fruit wastewater.<br />
On April 18th in Brussels, Maria Eugenia Zacarias and Pedro Lopes participated<br />
in a workshop, where Pedro presented “PHB: Opportunities for Rigid Packaging.”<br />
PHBottle, funded by the European Commission, aims to develop a biodegradable<br />
material (PHB, polyhydroxybutyrate) by fermentation of food industry byproducts<br />
(juice processing wastewater). This is where the raw material<br />
will come from.Logoplaste Innovation Lab will design the bottle and study<br />
the PHB conditions for both injection stretch blow moulding and extrusion<br />
blow moulding. The team will also be responsible of the industrial validation.<br />
A daring innovative concept and a challenge for all involved.<br />
