About us

The Bioresource Processing Alliance (BPA) provides access to the combined world-class science capabilities and technical facilities of four of New Zealand’s national research providers – AgResearch, Callaghan Innovation, Plant & Food Research, Scion and universities.

• Access raw materials from across the primary sector
• Develop new high-value products from raw biological materials
• Establish robust economic analysis and development plans
• Develop methodologies for processing by-products
• Tap into pilot scale plants to assess the commercial feasibility of a new process or product
• Reduce costs of processing by-products
• Increase the value of raw materials
