ASIJ-Tokyo # Project ESPHA: Exploring the Secretion of Polyhydroxyalkanoates # As global plastic production reaches a staggering 370 million tons in 2021 and the culture emphasizing hygiene and convenience in Japan continues to drive a prevalence of single-use plastics, emerging bioplastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) provide a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Project ESPHA attempts to explore various secretion methods in order to reduce downstream processing costs of PHA production. ...
