"We merken dat het besef in Vlaanderen groeit dat biotech een belangrijke rol moet spelen in de omslag naar een circulaire economie", zegt Sophie Roelants van AmphiStar in het tweede nummer van het PMV-magazine. Terwijl surfactanten (een essentieel onderdeel van o.a. schoonmaakmiddelen) vandaag gemaakt worden op basis van aardolie, ontwikkelt de Gentse start-up microbiële biosurfactanten met een productieproces op basis van voedselafval: een revolutie in de chemische sector.
