Tereos and Futerro team up to produce bioplastic from wheat-based dextrose

In Belgium, Tereos and Futerro have signed a supply agreement that paves the way for the creation of a biomanufacturing platform that will produce innovative and sustainable biomaterials.

The collaboration between the two companies is based on ethical sources, with Tereos supplying Futerro every year with 150,000 metric tons of dextrose from wheat starch, produced directly at its Lillebonne plant, to supply Futerro’s future biorefinery nearby. Futerro will use this sustainable raw material to produce various bio-based

platform molecules (lactic acid and lactide) and a recyclable and industrially compostable bioplastic (PLA).
