Abstract
Urgency is demonstrated concerning the studies focused on the development of processes for producing a new generation of environmentally safe and biodegradable polymeric materials. Basing on the experimental characteristics of the process of synthesizing polyhydroxyalkanoates obtained as the result of pilot plant operation at the Institute of Biophysics of the SB RAS (Krasnoyarsk), there has been a technical and economic analysis of the process performed. Calculation results are presented for the cost price of polyhydroxyalkanoates in the case of different substrate scenarios.
