Methane-to-bioplastics technology takes advantage of wastewater off-gases

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastics that can be made from renewable feedstocks. Mango Materials is producing PHAs by fermenting methane-rich off-gases from the Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant in Vacaville, California—converting a potent greenhouse gas into bioplastics at pilot and production scale.

Question: What applications or policies do you think would most accelerate adoption of methane-to-PHA bioplastics at municipal wastewater and landfill sites?
