— Over the years, Bio on has developed an alternative proposal within the world of biopolymers. Innovative and 360° applications in every sector. It has also adopted the IP BUSINESS MODEL which allows anyone, in any part of the world, to be able to purchase ad-hoc developed applications or acquire production licenses to build production plants for the production of PHB. The world has been waiting for a solution to solve the plastic problem and Bio on is ready to offer a complete alternative with PHA.
PHA has great value in this sector, where it can easily replace the primary microplastics that are added to formulations with equal performance, but also to give certain characteristics to the cosmetic product itself and its texture. Bio on has developed a technology to create natural microplastics with the same characteristics as the products used until now but with the advantage of being sustainable and completely biodegradable in nature.
PHA can be used both in the pharmaceutical field (e.g., encapsulation of drugs and release of the active ingredient) and in the production of materials and devices that can be used in surgery. Suture Materials, Drug Delivery Devices, Engineering Tissues, Orthopedic Implants, Vascular and Skin Reconstruction Materials.
In the tobacco industry, PHA can be used in various application areas. It can be used as an environmentally friendly adhesive in cigarette filters, replacing chemicals such as triacetin. In fact, this material can maintain the structure of the filter even under the effect of the heat of smoke, preventing the collapse of the filter and reducing the release of toxic substances. In addition, some of our studies with institutions such as New York University have shown that PHA significantly reduces the reactive oxygen species present in cigarette smoke, thus contributing to a decrease in harmful substances inhaled by smokers.
Development of solid electrolytes based on PHA, in a completely ecological process (electrospinning), safe, light, flexible (wearable, easy integration into fabrics). PHA can act as both an electrode and an electrolyte. Cutting-edge scenarios are opening up where, thanks to biodegradability, piezoelectric functions can be added with new models of batteries and additional energy generators for electronic products such as cell phones, laptops, and werable computers.
Agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, land use and deforestation. The use of plastic agricultural components is unsustainable; Biodegradable biopolymers such as PHAs can reduce ecological impact, offering more sustainable agricultural practices. Furthermore, PHB can contribute to a better use of fertilizers thanks to the Urea coating, improving their use in a sustainable and natural way. So PHB enters the world of agriculture in visible and invisible applications.
PHAs, in the form of biodegradable micro powders, offer a solution for cleaning polluted marine waters. These micro powders support the growth of bacteria that degrade oil, purifying the water in approximately 20 days without leaving traces. A new alternative that adds to chemical products and absorbent cloths, which are difficult to dispose of compared to PHB. A new era of ecological products begins to support the cleaning of the sea and ports.
