🌱Exciting Proposal for Accelerating Biosolution Approval in the EU! 🚀 Are you passionate about sustainable innovation? 💡 Imagine a world where biosolutions can revolutionize industries from food to textiles, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional production systems. This being said, at the moment the journey to market for these innovative biosolutions in the EU is far from smooth. With a strict regulatory framework that is slow and inconvenient, biosolutions face unnecessary hurdles that hinder their potential impact. But, what if there is a way to change that? 🌍✨ Discover an interesting proposal to create a regulatory sandbox exclusively for biosolutions, streamlining the approval process, while maintaining the rigorous safety standards. If this sounds interesting to you, check out the article below and discover how this innovative approach could fast-track the journey to market of biosolutions, paving the way for a greener future! 🌱🌍 Article Link: https://lnkd.in/dSg7KhpE #Biosolutions #Innovation #Sustainability #EURegulation #Biotechnology #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenFuture

This is a great article on bioplastics.

🔊 New meeting announcement: 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 👉 https://lnkd.in/du697xty #Plastics are in almost all objects essential for our everyday life: furniture and toys, packaging of our foods and beverages, and even in the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics we use. Unfortunately, only a small minority of plastic #waste is usefully #recycled . So a major goal for #biotechnology is to produce a wide range of products suitable for #recycling or rapid #biodegradation. The on-line meeting in March will be a joint event with our Partner, AFOB (the Asian Federation of Biotechnology), to explore the range of new #biobased materials that are becoming available, with a special focus on #enzymes required for their synthesis or modification; their applications; and #biodegradability. A fourth session will review the impact of plastics on the environment.  𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧! #plasticpollution #plasticwaste #biodegradablepackaging #EFBPlastics

Today is #InternationalPlasticBagFreeDay and we all know that #PlasticBags present a big challenge to our environment, since discarded plastic bags can take up to 500 years to disintegrate! Eliminate when possible is the best choice! However, certified #compostable bags help divert food waste from landfills and keeping organic waste out of landfills helps to lower #GreenhouseGas emissions. Luckily, there is a better alternative: We are working with other #biopolymer industry partners using our #polyhydroxyalkanoate technology to develop bags that are compostable. Learn more on our website and then reach out to us to discuss how we can protect the planet together by developing #sustainable PHA-based solutions: https://loom.ly/xxEWi_0 #GreenTech #plasticwaste #SustainableSolutions #PHA

This Earth Day, join Proteios Technology, Inc. in our commitment to pioneering eco-friendly protein purification solutions that leave no waste behind. Biotechnology is responsible for over 300 million tons of plastic waste annually. At Proteios, we're determined to change that narrative. Through our innovative approach to protein purification and packaging, we're leading the charge towards a more sustainable future for the biotech industry. ♻Our packaging is entirely compostable, ensuring it returns harmlessly to the earth. 🌎Our bottles are 100% recyclable, further reducing our environmental footprint. By embracing these practices, we're not just reducing waste; we're actively preserving the planet for future generations. And we're not stopping there - we continuously optimize our processes to be as eco-friendly as possible. #earthDay #biotech #ProteiosTechnology #zerowaste #sustainablebiotech

This is how Advance Bio Circular materials made by Arkema.

With new biotech materials coming into the market, it pays to know what the various claims they make mean. For example, what’s the difference between bio-based and biodegradable? PolyNatural® is both bio-based and biodegradable (which makes it a great alternative to other polymers). Watch our video for a simple explanation of what each of those terms means.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 - 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 There is quite some "activity" also in standard excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for various reasons. But I have not seen such a radical innovation as by Nordic Bioproducts Group Ltd to achieve a much more sustainable manufacturing process and at the same time unique product characteristics as presented in their MCC. #excipient #innovation #cellulose #sustainability

Microplastics from packaging are bad news, but many of their worst impacts come not from the plastic itself but the additives (chain extenders, rheology modifiers, antioxidants, UV blockers and more) it is compounded with. This means even “green” biodegradable and biocompatible materials can still have adverse environmental effects if not formulated carefully. Innovia’s Dr Kate Oliver and Alex Massey talk about some of the pitfalls and opportunities in sustainable packaging here: https://lnkd.in/eC4rS7et #FoodHub #Innovation #FoodAndBeverage #SustainablePackaging Innovia Technology

📢Bioplastics Industry to Skyrocket with Quadruple Production by 2028! 🌍 Global production capacity for bioplastics is expected to quadruple by 2028, reaching around 7.5 million tonnes per year. 📈 This increase is driven by the growing demand for sustainable materials and advancements in biopolymer technology. ♻️ The proportion of biodegradable plastics in the total volume of bioplastics is also set to increase. The European Bioplastics association is calling for policy support to accelerate the growth of the bioplastics industry. 🌱📢 #BioprocessUpdates #bioplastics #sustainability #biopolymer #globalproduction #plasticindustry #environmentallyfriendly #biodegradableplastics #advancementsintechnology #EuropeanBioplastics #policy support #growingdemand #quadrupleby2028 #sustainablematerials #bioplasticsindustry #globalcapacity ▷ Read the full article here: 📎 https://lnkd.in/dvHKthCb
