DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d21d42/biopolymerpolyhyd) has announced the addition of the "Biopolymer-Polyhydroxybutyrate - Patent and Technology Report - Key Players, Innovators and Industry Analysis" report to their offering.

The modern world started utilizing plastics because of the cost and due to properties suitable for usage in various areas. Plastics are obtained either from fossil fuels or from natural resources. The utilization of fossil fuels has increased tremendously in many forms driving their depletion, as the fuels are non-renewable. The degradation of fuel derived plastics is also happening at a very low pace endangering the environment. The need of plastics which can overcome the environment problems is driving the search for bio based polymers which are biodegradable.

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biopolymer that can be used as a biodegradable thermoplastic material. PHB is produced by micro-organisms as a form of energy storage during stress. The genes involved in the pathway can be isolated and utilized for the large scale production of PHB in other micro-organisms or plants. The search towards PHB based plastic materials production with the cost and properties competitive to the petrochemical based plastic is focused in many industrial and research organizations.

This report focuses on finding the key innovators and the industry ecosystem through relevant patents, clinical trials and university data encompassing the research in the bio based production of Polyhydroxybutyrate. Dolcera has a standardized and tested procedure to formulate comprehensive patent search strategies to retrieve all the relevant patents. The report highlights year-wise patent activity (trend line) along with the key industrial players in the field. The different companies have been categorized based on their position in the value chain. A comprehensible result in the form of Dolcera dashboard has been given. The dashboard links the companies in each category to their patents, hence making an interactive platform for analysis. Companies have also been segregated based on their geographical distribution. Dolcera has retrieved close to 250 relevant patents related to PHB production, covering around 17 countries. Furthermore, patents have been mapped to commercially available products produced by the respective assignees and other licensees. The report also highlights different universities and research institutes active in the research of the said technology area, hence pointing out industry opportunities.
