Biotechnology for a new generation of materials

PBB develops bioplastics tailored for industrial applications and is advancing toward its own circular PLA derived from dairy by-products.

Vision

A platform to achieve industrial circularity

Through the valorization of dairy by-products and their transformation into circular PLA, along with the development of new materials and their industrial scaling, we contribute to a more sustainable economy and a reduced dependence on fossil-based materials.
Capabilities

Biotechnology and materials, two complementary capabilities

Industrial research and development advancing in parallel.

By-product valorization

We investigate how to transform dairy by-products, such as whey and dairy permeate, to move toward the production of our own polylactic acid (PLA).

Materials development
In parallel, we formulate and validate market PLA to adapt it to the technical and processing requirements of specific industrial applications, with a view toward industrial scaling.
How we work

From industrial requirements to a validated material

Application requirements

We identify the technical and processing properties that the material must meet for the application.

Formulation and adaptation

We adjust the material formulation to meet the defined technical and processing requirements.

Technical validation

We evaluate performance and processability through technical testing with specialized partners.

Industrial scaling

We prepare its integration into industrial processes and its progressive scaling toward larger volumes.

Our goal is to progressively integrate PBB’s own circular PLA into the previously developed and validated applications.
