We have started!

Engineering world’s first full-scale PHA from process water plant has started. Paques Biomaterials and ESKA have signed a cooperation agreement with Envirochemie, Paques (both part of the Skion Water Group), and Jorritsma Bouw on how to conduct the engineering of the world’s first Full-Scale Plant for PHA production from Process Water. This agreement contains far-reaching […]
After a year of bold passion it was time for some bold fashion

After a year of bold passion, it was time for some bold fashion One of our colleagues designed some bold fashion for the Paques Biomaterials team. We are proud to be surrounded by so many passionate and committed colleagues. When you develop a new technology, and we are even developing two, we need their bold […]
PHA from sewage sludge is a good business case

PHA from sewage sludge is a good business case Last Friday, we celebrated the closing of the PHA2USE project with the consortium partners at the Greenwise Campus Innovation Center. This project has contributed significantly to scaling up our technology and has shown that making PHA from sewage sludge is a good business case. Thank you […]
