We will use hemp-based plants products as a carbon source to feed to microbes. They will convert this material to lactic acid (LA). The LA will be extracted and used in polymerisation reactions using both chemical catalysts and biocatalysts. The polylactic acid (PLA) will be isolated and characterised. The PLA will be provided to our industry partner IndiNature to add to their building materials. The properties of these final products will be tested. As well as the technical side, a circular economy analysis and a life cycle analysis (LCA) of the process will also be carried out.

我们将使用大麻植物产品作为碳源来喂养微生物。他们会将这种材料转化为乳酸 (LA)。 LA 将被提取并用于使用化学催化剂和生物催化剂的聚合反应。聚乳酸 (PLA) 将被分离和表征。 PLA 将提供给我们的行业合作伙伴 IndiNature，以添加到他们的建筑材料中。这些最终产品的特性将被测试。除了技术方面外，还将对流程进行循环经济分析和生命周期分析（LCA）。
