the collaboration
The NextPHAse project is funded by the Eurostars programme. It is a bilateral material development project by Canada based Genecis and Helian Polymers, through its PHAradox brand.
In the project we work together to develop sustainable materials. The full title is: “NextPHAse: Introducing functional PHA based formulations and applications to the plastics industry.”
Eurostars is a joint programme between Eureka and the European Commission for SME-driven international R&D projects. The programme was initiated to enhance the growth of R&D-performing SMEs through its support of projects whose results can be introduced into the market within two years of completion. Over the last decade and a half, it has become one of the most successful international SME funding programmes and one of only a few close-to-market collaborative R&D programmes that spotlights SMEs
