Polyhydroxyalkanoate production by municipal waste activated sludge: Tackling scaling-up process challenges

Microbes are the gears that sustain all forms of life in planet Earth and are expected to become key players in the transition towards a more sustainable society. In this thesis, microbes from sewage sludge are used for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates, biodegradable polymers that have the potential to replace<br/>many of the petroleum...

Converting Wastewater Treatment Plants into Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production Factories

Fossils derived plastics offer a wide range of services in applications, frompackaging to building and construction, to electronics and water distribution networks. The use of fossils to produce plastics releases the stored CO2 and contributes to climate change. Due to durability and resistance to degradation, discarded plastics accumulate in...
