As a result of the European LIFE + WHEYPACK project, PHB (Polyhydroxybutyrate) has been obtained from a fully biodegradable biopolymer from milk whey. It is a biodegradable material, compostable, from renewable sources (bio-based) and has properties similar to those of traditional polymers from petroleum such as PP. New packaging for dairy products will be made with this 100% biodegradable material.
