Projekt navazuje na již realizované výzkumné aktivity, které potvrdily možnost využití Hydal PHA jako materiálu pro náhradu mikroplastů v oblasti abraziv. V rámci projektu budou realizovány vývojové aktivity pro náhradu výplní, mikročástic v zubních pastách a dalších produktech.

Description in English
The aim of the project is to develop new Hydal PHA based materials that will be used to replace microplastics in cosmetics and other manufacturing industries. The project builds on the research activities already carried out confirming the possibility of using Hydal PHA as a material for the replacement of microplastics in the area of abrasives. Within the framework of the project, development activities will be implemented to replace fillers, microparticles in toothpastes and other products. Microplasties pose a danger to the ecosystem because they penetrate the food chain and the entire ecosystem. Hydal PHA eliminates this hazard and prevents it from becoming bio-degradable in the ecosystem. Research activities will include the development of analytical methods and biodegradability testing.
