Industrial fermentation for the production of lactic acid from organic waste combined with chemical recycling of polylactic acid are provided, to obtain lactic acid at high yields.

Systems and methods for recycling of organic waste to produce lactic acid by fermentation are provided, which utilize dried or partially-dried compositions of spores of the lactic acid-producing bacterium Bacillus coagulans.

The present invention relates to processes for producing highly pure magnesium L-lactate salt from decomposed organic waste and enriching the enantiomeric purity of recycled lactate salt.

A process for the formation of high-purity magnesium L-lactate crystals from homogenous and heterogenous decomposed organic waste is provided. The process provides magnesium L-lactate crystals with improved enantiomeric purity and overall purity which are particularly suitable for reuse in the production of new poly...

The present invention relates to processes for the enantiomeric enrichment of lactic acid or salt thereof obtained from waste recycling.

Methods and systems for pretreatment of organic waste prior to large-scale production of lactic acid from the organic waste are provided, which employ dried or partially-dried compositions of Bacillus coagulans spores. The methods and systems advantageously provide partial conversion of the organic waste to L-lactic...

Methods and systems for pretreatment of organic waste prior to large-scale production of lactic acid from the organic waste are provided, which result in increased production yield. The pretreatment methods and systems of the present invention employ particular temperature and pH conditions that inhibit or even comp...
