Based on exclusive technology partially developed by the GAIKER technology centre, and with initial industrial production in Germany, it has plans for expansion in the Basque Country, where B4H is expected to address the lack of industrial capacity in Europe for this compostable material, which is key to the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to <em>Plastics Europe<\/em> (2024), bioplastics only account for 0.6% of the more than 400 million tonnes of plastics produced globally.\u00a0Production is expected to increase to 7.7 million tonnes by 2029 (annual rate of 14%), driven by regulations such as the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive and demand for sustainable packaging.\u00a0The benefits of PHBV include the fact that it is home compostable, as opposed to industrial compostable, such as PLA; as well as its higher thermal resistance and lower environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n<p>With an initial investment of \u20ac700k and a B2B <em><\/em>model, B4H is planning an initial capacity of 2,840 tonnes per year and projects a turnover of \u20ac10.3 million in 5 years, covering part of a growing European market. Phase 2 of the company has already begun the search for public-private funding for a future plant in Spain, aligned with EU sustainability regulations and allowing it to supply part of the Spanish and European agri-food market.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of the investors in this first round include lead investor TranXforma Food<strong>, <\/strong>S.L., as well as RAISA Film de Polietileno<strong>,<\/strong>S.A., an investment group led by chef I\u00f1aki Andradas, and the GAIKER Technology Centre. A group of small investors from the agri-food sector have also provided capital with a convertible note. B4H has taken out a \u20ac180k loan from ENISA\u2019s Agroinnpulso programme and received grants from the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the Basque Government\u2019s Basque Business Development Agency (SPRI).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The innovative 100% compostable film and packaging solution has been developed with the contribution of GAIKER technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[136],"tags":[1416,1417,1415],"class_list":{"0":"post-31663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-bioplastics","8":"tag-compostability","9":"tag-films-en","10":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
