BRIGIT aims to develop a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly continuous process to produce biopolymers (polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB, and succinate-based biopolyesters, PBS-Poly-Butylene-Succinate) from waste-derived lignocelullosic sugar feedstock liquor of wood sulphite pulping process based on “in-situ” fermentation process and new fermentation culture technology without alteration of the quality of current lignosulphonates.

The 16 partners cover all the entire value chain from feedstock, biosynthesis of the polymer or polymer precursor, through to the optimization of product recovery, purification and further conversion towards the final product.
