This summer three Dutch regional water authorities agreed to set up a demonstration plant to produce PHA biopolymer according to the specifications of manufacturers of biodegradable plastic products. The coming 10 months the production will be fine-tuned to meet the customer quality requirements. Later the production capacity will be raised to 100 ton per year (News Item dutchwatersector.com, 22 October 2015).
