Bio-on and Hera Join Forces to Setup LUX-ON for Producing Bioplastic from CO2

High-quality bioplastic leader Bio-on, and Gruppo Hera, one of Italy’s major multi-utility providers, have struck a deal to take 90% and 10% shares, respectively (with the likelihood of Hera increasing its share to 49.9%) in LUX-ON, the new company founded by Bio-on aiming to transform the manufacture of PHAs biopolymers using CO2 taken from the atmosphere and generating energy without the need of fossil fuels.
