Nature's Principles
Disrupting traditional lactic acid production through new fermentation technologies.
At Nature's Principles, they pioneer the circular production of biobased chemicals by using unique fermentation technologies.
Nature's principles develops a patented fermentation technology that makes it possible to produce L-lactic acid directly from sugar beet, in a up to 30% more cost-efficient process. The lactic acid will be used to produce PLA, the most common bioplastics. Their lactic acid will use up to 500x less water than the conventional production process.
