Construction of extraction pilot plant has started
On July 2nd, we officially launched the construction of our pilot plant in Emmen.
Tadaa… our research extraction facility
Our Research Extraction Facility (REF) in Balk is operational! This facility is engineered to help us develop our extraction technology efficiently. We extract only a few grams in our laboratory but over 25 kilos per run in our pilot plant in Emmen. We were looking for an intermediate solution that gave us the flexibility to […]

New funding round closed today, raising €14 million
We closed a new funding round today, raising €14 million to produce a biopolymer with the advantages of plastic but not the disadvantages. Among the investors are impact investor Invest-NL and the NOM. Part of this investment round also includes a grant from Energiefonds Drenthe. Over a decade ago, in collaboration with Delft University of […]
Patent applied for biodegradable controlled-released fertilisers
Biodegradable controlled-released fertilisers with Caleyda® Delft Solid Solutions applied for a patent for biodegradable controlled-released fertilisers using our Caleyda®. This makes the first application of Caleyda® a fact. For the last few months, Delft Solid Solutions, in close cooperation with the application team of Paques Biomaterials, has been developing a fertiliser coated with our Caleyda®, […]
European Bioplastics Conference
Richard Schrama is representing Paques Biomaterials at the European Bioplastics Conference in Berlin. Besides attending the conference, we also decided to show our brand Caleyda®. This is our first step to bringing our PHBV brand Caleyda® to market.
Internship with impact
Are you looking for an internship with Impact? You might have found what you’re looking for. We can surely use the help of bold interns who want to help us improve the process we operate: Making poly-hydroxy-alkanoates (PHA) from second-generation feedstocks (organic side streams). For this goal, a continuous Feast&Famine lab set-up has been built […]
