BioHub calls for construction of a bio-refinery to process 1.3 million tons of cereal annually into “green” monomers and polymers for specialty and commodities markets. Sidel (www.sidel.com) says it will “be contributing its expertise in processing materials and developing innovative plastic packages for foods.” A goal is to develop new bio-materials in partnership with Roquette Flères, a producer of starch and a specialist in processing wheat and corn for industrial uses, Tergal Fibres, and the Laboratoire de Matériaux Macromoleculaires at the national Institute of Applied Science in Lyon, France.
