Every year, the EU produces 64 million tons of spent grains, 20% of which end up in landfills. BeSoGreat aims to transform these spent grains, a byproduct of beer production, into biodegradable plastic materials.
In recent years, the global biodegradable polymer market has grown by more than 20%. Deroma, always attentive to sustainability, is a key partner in this project, leveraging its long history and experience in the sector.
