PHAs are mainly produced from renewable resources by fermentation. A wide variety of prokaryotic organisms accumulate PHA from 30 to 80% of their cellular dry weight. Only some bacterial strains show satisfactory levels of productivity: • Cupriavidus necator (former Ralstonia eutropha) • Alcaligenes lactus • Azotobacter vinelandii • some methylotrophs • Pseudomonas oleovorans • Recombinant Escherichia coli + Mixed cultures 26 Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers 27 Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers PLA: The Last Trends • PLA = Polymers for durable applications (No biodegradation) • New PLA based blends (e.g., PLA/Plexiglass = Arkema or PLA/PC = Ingeo) • PLA as a polyol (TPU, PU …) • PLA with high value (grafted polymers) ___________________________________ • More and more biomedical applications (biocompatibility; biodegradable in contact with living tissue) 28 Biobased polymers The future ? – GMO (e.g., Starch) – ↓ Some fossil resources with price of some fractions (???$) – Evolution of the « society » (« Grenelle de l’environnement », sustainability ? ) – Evolution of the governmental policy Eco-tax ?
