Description:
As part of the international consortium project “Eurostars 2256 SustainableSole”, TerraVerdae BioWorks Inc. in collaboration with KUORI GmbH (Switzerland), University of Northwestern Switzerland (Switzerland), and Wildling Shoes GmbH (Germany) will develop a biobased and biodegradable shoe sole material based on polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer and food industry waste streams.
