Tereos and Futerro have partnered to develop in Normandy a bio-industrial, circular and sustainable platform dedicated to green chemistry. The goal is to concentrate on a single territory, in a short supply chain, the extraction of dextrose (from sustainable French wheat) and its transformation into bio-based, industrially compostable and recyclable plastic.
This unique centre of excellence will be located in the industrial port area of Port-Jérôme-sur-Seine (76) and will be operational in 2027.
Plant-based chemistry, circularity, decarbonisation, new pathways for agricultural value creation, this agreement marks a strong commitment to tomorrow's bio-industrial world.
