About Biopolymers
Biopolymers offer water companies and their customers a sustainable solution by providing renewable raw materials for creating a range of high-value products. Harnessing biopolymers from wastewater and sludge unlocks pathways to circular economies while contributing to the water sector's ambition of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030.
By reducing reliance on synthetic polymers commonly used in daily operations, biopolymers help minimise environmental impact. These materials are naturally produced by bacteria during wastewater treatment, and if effectively extracted, they could replace chemical alternatives across various industries.
