Read about how @Genomatica's bio-nylon will reduce the 60 million tons of GHGs/year from nylon made from fossil fuels, in @Forbes interview with @_BrookeRoberts_ https://t.co/qPMrTs2CS7
More #biomaterials making their way to market... “Bio-nylon is positioned to replace a material that’s used in millions of applications every day.”

bio-nylon, 50X: "The material will be used to develop renewable products and showcase goods... as more companies look to... make products that have fewer negative consequences for the environment..." @jshieber@TechCrunch https://t.co/Opv3rSq2cf
Did you know that🛒Trader Joe's produce bags are certified #compostable? 🌿 Made with #bioplastic @materbi, these bags are perfect to re-use for collecting and composting food scraps, reducing the amount of #waste that goes to landfill or incineration.🙌 #TraderJoes
The facts are that carbon capture & storage has proved to be far more costly than thought a decade ago and renewables vastly less costly. So the clean/cheap energy answer is renewables + storage. Apart from v niche appl’ns CCS is just another coal de sac https://t.co/QroNiFaGfq
(2 of 4) Better results for sustainability-focused brands are consistent with @Genomatica's survey re consumer feelings about how their products are made and their not-sustainable starting points (= ‘disgusted’); @Forbes summary https://t.co/mQ6onZWswD @johncumbers
(4 of 4) also intriguing: how biotechnology can enable economical smaller chemical production plants = more resilient supply chains (COVID shows importance), and production “in-market, for-market” of renewably-sourced ingredients; technical info https://t.co/A5nOc0Ohb9
(3 of 4) That’s also consistent with the strong reaction to @Genomatica's announcement of the world’s first ton of renewable nylon intermediate, as people know what nylon is and can relate to it; here, another @Forbes perspective https://t.co/IsSy9OgR3m
Barely a day goes by without another large company announcing a sustainability drive, encompassing everything from encouraging employees to use less plastic to withdrawing billions in funding from fossil fuel groups.

We will need more Renewable, recyclable materials to achieve the Green Deal objectives. Great debate tonight- to be continued! @EU_ENV @miapetrakumpula
Every day I work with many of the synbio companies at the forefront of innovation. Tools like synthetic biology should be viewed as empowering the natural world, not hindering it. Read my latest in @WholeFoodsMag https://t.co/hzFGprGCnu
