March 20, European Commission Q&A on Biotech and Biomanufacturing Exchange
What are the current industrial applications of biotechnology and biomanufacturing?
Biotechnology and biomanufacturing, the use of biotechnology and biological resources and their conversion into chemicals, prod...
Carbios has been developing enzyme recovery technology since its inception in 2011. Its PET degradation enzymes have proven to be superior to competitors.
On March 5, the France-based biotech company also developed enzymes that aid in biodegradation. Its enzymatic biodegradation process makes p...
PLA and PBAT are the mainstream raw materials in the current degradable plastics market. In order to further improve the performance of PLA and PBAT single films, many scholars have carried out research on PLA/PBAT composite films in recent years.
PLA/PBAT composite film has excellent mechanica...
Despite efforts by all sectors of society to improve the collection and recycling of plastics in order to promote a circular economy, some synthetic materials inevitably end up in the environment due to littering, wind, rain and wear and tear.
From summer 2023, Wageningen Food and Bio-based Research...
Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the United States have found that changing the surface area of a product, rather than just the materials used to make it, affects the rate at which it biodegrades in seawater.
In response to plastic pollution, countries around t...
Based on the increasing maturity of the cross-fertilization and application of bio-based material technologies, bio-based products have been widely welcomed for their sustainability and environmentally friendly properties. These products not only bring innovation to various industries, but also play...
The logic behind why Bio-based Materials (BBM) has become a hotspot in today's industry, science and technology, and investment world is that BBM does not produce new carbon dioxide, which is conducive to mitigating climate warming and lack of resources.
Let's start by looking at why carbon dio...
Waste feedstock is one of the most sustainable inputs for the manufacture of bio-based materials. Waste from the banana industry has great potential as an industrial input. The biomass fibers left after harvesting can be a textile alternative to resource-intensive cotton.
For some developing co...
December 26, 2023 - Köksan, Turkey's leading PET production giant, recently announced that its new 300-ton per day recycled BHET production line will soon be operational. This significant development marks another important advancement for the company in the field of recycled plastics. The line is c...
Polylactic acid (PLA), also known as polypropylene glycol ester, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as the main raw material, which is a new type of biodegradable material.
Publicly available information shows that PLA is mainly made from starch raw materials proposed u...
