Bio-Based Material Solutions

At a global inflection point, the food industry faces mounting pressure to improve sustainability. CD BioSustainable develops biotechnologies to convert food by-products and renewable resources into value-added bio-based materials, functional ingredients, and foods. We help partners transition to circular economy models through strategic services, focusing on bio-based products like chitosan, biodegradable packaging, and Single Cell Protein (SCP)—green alternatives to fossil-based materials.

Technical Principles

Technical Classification

Our technologies can be broadly classified as:

• Biopolymer Extraction and Modification: This includes the isolation of natural polymers like chitin and its conversion to chitosan, along with further functional modifications.
• Bioplastic Manufacturing: This involves the formulation, compounding, and processing of bio-based and biodegradable polymers into films, containers, and other packaging formats.
• Fermentation Technology: This is central to SCP production and can also be applied to produce other bio-based chemicals and intermediates.

Application Areas

Our bio-based materials and technologies find diverse applications within and beyond the food industry:

• Food Packaging: Biodegradable and compostable films, trays, and containers.
• Food Ingredients & Preservation: Chitosan as a natural antimicrobial agent, clarifying agent, or edible coating to extend shelf-life.
• Animal Feed & Aquaculture: SCP as a sustainable and protein-rich feed ingredient.
• Agriculture: Chitosan as a biopesticide and plant growth enhancer.
• Biomedical and Pharmaceutical: High-purity chitosan for drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering (note: this is a high-value area, often requiring specific certifications).
