Developing natural plastics in Australian sugarcane

Metabolix provides biobased, sustainable solutions for plastics, fuels and chemicals. The agreement was formalised in Boston earlier this week by John Mickel, Queensland Minister for State Development.
No financial terms of the agreement have been disclosed.
