Nestl\u00e9 and Danimer Scientific will collaborate to design and manufacture bio-based resins for Nestl\u00e9\u2019s water business using Danimer Scientific\u2019s PHA polymer Nodax\u2122. In 2018, the University of Georgia (U.S.A.) confirmed in a study that Nodax\u2122 is an effective biodegradable alternative to petrochemical plastics. PepsiCo, an existing partner of Danimer, may also gain access to the resins developed under this collaboration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Researchers have shown that PHA biodegrades in a wide range of environments, including industrial and home compost, soil, fresh and sea water,&#8221; said Stephen Croskrey, CEO of Danimer Scientific. &#8220;As a material that is reliably biodegradable across both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, our Nodax\u2122 PHA is an ideal fit to drive the creation of eco-friendly packaging for Nestl\u00e9\u2019s products. Nodax\u2122 PHA is suitable feedstock for industrial compost, home compost, and anaerobic digester facilities as well as reuse through recycling. We look forward to supporting Nestl\u00e9 in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Nestl\u00e9 announced its commitment to make 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025. To achieve this goal, the company has already undertaken several initiatives including the creation of the Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Packaging Sciences. This institute is dedicated to the discovery and development of functional, safe and environmentally friendly packaging solutions including functional paper and biodegradable materials.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Palzer, Chief Technology Officer for Nestl\u00e9 said, &#8220;Strategic innovation partnerships play a key role for Nestl\u00e9 as we make progress in improving the sustainability of our packaging. In order to effectively address the plastic issue in various markets, we need a wide range of technological solutions, including new paper materials and biodegradable polymers which can also be recycled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maurizio Patarnello, CEO of Nestl\u00e9 Waters said, &#8220;Nestl\u00e9 Waters is committed to addressing the growing global plastic waste packaging issue. A biodegradable bottle, which is also recyclable, can help improve the environmental impact of our business in countries without collection and recycling systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About Danimer Scientific<br \/>\nDanimer Scientific is a pioneer in creating more sustainable, more natural ways to make plastic products. Danimer Scientific\u2019s Nodax\u2122 PHA possesses seven TUV AUSTRIA certifications and statements of industrial and home compostability, is biodegradable in anaerobic, soil, fresh water and marine environments and is 100% bio-based. All of Danimer Scientific\u2019s biopolymers, including its Nodax\u2122 PHA, are FDA approved for food contact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nestl\u00e9 and Danimer Scientific, a leading developer and manufacturer of biodegradable plastic products, today announced a global partnership to develop biodegradable bottles.
