## About

Founded in 2021 by its CEO, Joost Pâques, and CTO, René Rozendal, and based in Balk, Netherlands, Paques Biomaterials operates as a provider of biomaterials and a manufacturer of biodegradable polymers intended to provide an alternative to plastic. In January 2024, Paques Biomaterials raised EUR 14 million in venture funding co-led by Invest-NL and NOM.

The company offers biomaterial alternatives derived from organic waste streams such as industrial wastewater, sewage sludge, and food waste.

The company produces Caleyda®, a biobased and biodegradable alternative to plastic produced without genetic modification of bacteria and without the use of fossil resources, making it a sustainable and natural alternative to conventional plastics.

The company plans to use the January 2024 funding to expand its PHA production, which produces a biopolymer with the advantages of plastic.
