CREATING
FUTURE
COMMERCIALLY VIABLE BIOBASED AND BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC!
BluCon Biotech GmbH was founded in June 2017 and has its research laboratories and offices at the BioCampus, Cologne. The company continues to develop a unique technology by which L-lactic acid can be produced at lowest possible production costs so that the bioplastic poly lactic acid (PLA) will become commercially competitive to fossil fuel based plastics.
Besides developing BluCon technology to commercial stage, BluCon Biotech GmbH serves as a platform to acquire further technologies in the field of applied biotechnology. With its core team, the company shows outstanding expertise in microbiology of extremophilic bacteria, in strain and process development and in project management. It is very well connected both in Germany and internationally.
Team
THE RIGHT TEAM TO FUEL BREAK-THROUGHS
Our team‘s mission is to develop a commercially viable and sustainable industrial process to make lactic acid (LA) by our unique fermentation process using agricultural or industrial lignocellulosic residue streams as feedstock which are not competing with the food chain.
THE Executive Management
Every member of our board of directors is a thought leader who has made significant contributions to our society. Each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to our organization.
BluCon Biotech GmbH is a company that has developed a unique technology for producing L-lactic acid at low costs. It uses proprietary bacteria to digest lignocellulosic biomass and produce lactic acid, the building block of PLA, in one bioreactor. The innovative fermentation process developed by the company directly converts these raw materials into L-lactic acid. This is the first time this has been done in the world. This technology has the potential to make bioplastics such as poly lactic acid (PLA) competitive with fossil-based plastics and can help reduce the amount of non-degradable plastic waste by replacing fossil based plastics with biodegradable, sustainable products. BluCon's technology uses agricultural and industrial residues instead of sugars, which avoids competition with the food chain. The technology has a significant positive impact on the environment, carbon footprint and circular economy, and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
