Great to see the USA vision being set out for bioplastics and growth in the biotechnology enabled bioeconomy

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

The Biden administration has set out bold ambitions to replace 90% of fossil fuel-based plastics with bio-based alternatives within two decades. This is a major endorsement of a more bio-based economy with reduced fossil inputs! #sustainability https://t.co/hKTn8zsYtP

We’re excited to announce that we’ve been awarded £282,000 in funding from @innovateuk to support the scale-up of novel compostable #biopolymers in collaboration with @ThomasSwanChem and the @UniofNottingham.

@innovateuk @BBSRC @UKRI_News Great to see @BBSRC and @innovateuk enabling technology to push up the TRL levels

[Innovate UK @innovateuk]

A new strategic #partnership between @innovateuk and @BBSRC will see a co-investment of over £50 million in strategic innovation programmes to help UK businesses collaborate with the UK research base.

It's #InternationalForestDay🌲! Tree planting is essential to tackle #climatechange, but trees need protection from external threats during their first 5 years of growth.

By using #biodegradable tree shelters, tree planting can be done sustainably.

It's warming up at the the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics show @Industry_co_uk, last day to visit @StanelcoRFTech and our induction heating solutions

[James Murray @James_BG]

The problem is not net zero, the problem is climate change. Any idiot can come up with a solution for the energy crisis if you don't have to consider the emissions. But wishing away inconvenient realities is immensely unhelpful and counterproductive, if not actively deceitful.

[Paul Mines @PaulMines1]

Great to see the business at face-to-face shows again

[Stanelco RF Technologies @StanelcoRFTech]

Jackets off and ready to go at the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics show @Industry_co_uk, great to be out again. Come see us.

Will @beisgovuk commit to a similar objective? Industrial Sustainable #Carbon challenge - At least 20% of the carbon used in the #chemical and #plastic products should be from sustainable non-fossil sources by 2030, ....... https://t.co/y51YLJ4cfA #biobased #bioeconomy

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

Today’s UN report highlights #biodegradable & compostable polymers as a substitute for fossil-based agricultural plastics. Switching to our #compostable & bio-based #treeshelters is an actionable approach to preventing soil contamination

SUGAR BEET: A Just Transition for the #Chemicals Sector and a Net Zero Solution for #Manufacturing. The study explores the techno-economic analysis of the re-introduction of sugar beet as a rotational crop in Scotland for use as an industrial feedstock. #bioeconmy

If here , why not everywhere? How @Envarcomposting and @CountrystyleRec are able to #compost not only #food and green #waste but also compostable #packaging. https://t.co/aBE3pq2Dk1 #wastemanagement #bioeconomy

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

45 million trees/year are planted in the UK – 35% of plastic #treeshelters end up in the environment. Let’s reach #netzero by 2050 by planting 30.000 ha/year without harming our ecosystems.
We’ve found a way to remove #plasticwaste from the equation: https://t.co/obWy5RBcYw

Great to see Industrial Biotechnology being indentified as crucial within today's publication of the UK's Biomass Policy Statement (page 31) https://t.co/Qncd5VYZcN

[Ingenza Ltd @IngenzaLtd]

Our MD @FotheringhamIan is a panellist in this morning's @BSI_UK event exploring the role of standards in innovation alongside @IBioIC, @innovateuk and #IBLF @PaulMines1 @BiomePlastics. Join the discussion now in the @scotgov #ClimateAmbitionZone #COP26 https://t.co/aQOL12O6C9

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

#Biodegradation occurs when complex organic materials such as our bio-based #bioplastics are converted to simpler compounds. Fungi and bacteria present in our soil start to feed on our biodegradable #treeshelters after 5-7 years. Learn more here: https://t.co/GnIv9ebCDB

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

Are you fed up with seeing plastic litter when out walking? Our technology can prevent a huge 2,500 tonnes of #plasticwaste from spoiling and polluting our beautiful countryside - find out how on Oct 25.

[Biome Bioplastics @BiomePlastics]

After 6 yrs of extensive R&D, lab testing & initial field trials we’re proud to introduce Vigilis Bio: high-performing bio-based tree shelters developed with @suregreenltd that biodegrade and leave no toxic residue in the environment. Watch the full story:
