Technology

Overview

VEON develops a modular biorefinery technology that transforms biomass into PLA, a globally
recognized biodegradable polymer.

Our work demonstrates how waste resources can become the basis of future material systems - from
plastics to textiles.

We build the technology that makes them possible.
