Bioextrax was founded in 2014 based on research at Lund University. The company develops a technology platform for the production of environmentally friendly materials based on microbiology. The platform includes two main technologies: 1) Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) – a bio-based plastic that can replace fossil-based plastic, and 2) Feather hydrolysis – a technology that converts feathers into hydrolyzed protein for animal feed and keratin microfibers as additives in various materials.
