Tasseikan : Biotech for Biopolymers

To stimulate the market introduction of biobased polymers, achieving low-cost production is essential. For the 100% biobased polymer PEF, the cost-effective production of its renewable building block FDCA remains the main bottleneck. PEF can replace the petrochemical plastic PET in many applications and offers superior performance benefits. Tasseikan and its partners are developing a biotechnologybased route to produce FDCA at significantly lower cost.
