When you think about biobased materials, you don't typically think of building and construction. However, at the recent Profiles 2015 technology conference on polymer materials in exterior building applications, Metabolix Inc. (Cambridge, MA) showcased just such an innovation: Polymer technology that improves PVC, one of the most widely used materials for building products.
Building and construction applications are a "target application space for Metabolix and its PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) biopolymer materials," said the company.
