“Unfortunately, the production of plastics from bio-wastes is still quite an expensive process, because the waste material is not fully utilized,” explains Jean-Paul Meijnen. 'A logical way of reducing the cost price of bioplastics is thus to 'teach' the bacteria to digest xylose and arabinose too.'
