Next generation bioplastics: Production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastics from organic waste

利用废物作为资源生产下一代生物塑料，支持澳大利亚的环境可持续发展，并为澳大利亚企业提供广泛的商业机会。该领域的基础研究将为建立澳大利亚PHA生物塑料卓越中心提供平台，该中心将在可持续材料开发研究方面发挥不可或缺的作用。 该项目将提供环境生物技术方面的培训和博士教育，并通过开发重要的知识产权以及澳大利亚大学与环境技术商业化领先企业之间的联系，为澳大利亚带来直接的商业利益。

Production of next generation bioplastics by using waste as a resource supports an environmentally sustainable Australia and provides wide-ranging commercial opportunities for Australian businesses. Fundamental research in this field will provide a platform for creation of an Australian Centre of Excellence in PHA bioplastics, which will play an integral role in progressing research on sustainable materials development. The project will provide training and PhD education in environmental biotechnology, and direct commercial benefits to Australia by the development of significant Intellectual Property and linkage between an Australian University and leading players in environment technology commercialisation.
