How can the use of plastics become more sustainable?

Flood of plastic in hospitals. Plastics have become indispensable, especially in the medical sector, due to their versatility, formability and low cost. However, there is no efficient cycle for these materials. The lack of sustainable plastics is identified as a critical gap that BIOVOX is consistently closing with medical grade bioplastics, among other things. We welcome Carmen Rommel, a member of the BIOVOX founding team, on this topic. As part of Bioball, BIOVOX has been implementing the PHA4Pack research project since the beginning of the year.



In this episode, we talk about how circular business models in the field of plastic use can reduce the environmental impact and how BIOVOX is pursuing the goal of closing the loop with bio-based instead of fossil-based materials.



We are delighted to be involved in innovative, imaginative and forward-looking projects as part of our Bioball innovation space and to support start-ups such as BIOVOX.

The podcast series offers a fascinating insight into the development of circular-based innovations from the perspectives of business, science, local government, and politics. Bioeconomy expert Manfred Kircher, together with his inspiring guests, will explore the bioeconomy from their diverse perspectives and experiences: What role does the bioeconomy play today and in the future on the path to a sustainable and climate-neutral metropolitan region? What hurdles had to be overcome during implementation? What opportunities were seized? And what societal and political changes are necessary to advance economic structural change? Look forward to interesting insights from thought leaders dedicated to the development of the bioeconomy in the metropolitan region.
