AIM-PACE is developing an artificial intelligence (AI)-guided materials pipeline that turns residual carbon streams into high-performance PHA thermoplastics for electronics packaging and wearable healthcare technologies. Plastics used in healthcare devices and electronics packaging must combine strength, thermal stability, barrier protection, electrical performance, and reliable industrial processing. Fossil-based polymers provide these properties at scale, but their production and disposal create long-term environmental problems. AIM-PACE is addressing this challenge by developing a new generation of circular polyhydroxyalkanoate materials. Running from June 2026 to May 2030, the project brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, materials modelling, polymer processing, manufacturing, recycling, safety, regulation, and social assessment. Polyhydroxyalkanoates, commonly known as PHAs, are thermoplastic polymers produced by bacteria. They can be made from renewable and residual carbon sources and can biodegrade under suitable conditions. However, current commercial PHA grades still face limitations in cost, availability, processability, and performance. AIM-PACE does not treat PHAs as a ready-made replacement for every conventional plastic. Instead, it will redesign and adapt them for applications in which several demanding properties must be delivered at …
