A key biodegradable plastic alternative

PHB polymers have captured research attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Because they are biodegradable, these polymers could be used to create plastic packaging without the negative environmental impacts of traditional plastic waste.

Challenges for industrial-scale PHB synthesis

Though production and extraction methods are well-published, on an industrial scale, several PHB challenges remain. High production cost, degradation, low yield, and extraction difficulties prevent its widespread adoption. 

With recovery efficiency and purity dependent on the extraction and isolation methods employed, effective PHB extraction remains one of the main barriers to microbial PHB production at scale.
