项目摘要

An estimated 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic waste has been generated globally since the 1950s (Science, 2017) of which approximately 80% remains in landfill or loose in the environment. Global greenhouse gas emissions from the production and disposal of plastics is more than double that of air travel (Nature Climate Change, 2019).In line with current demand, oil-based plastics are produced at a rate of ~330mtpa. While useful, they have been developed focusing on function than end-of-life performance and their environmental impact.Recycling alone is not the complete answer to the "plastics problem". These include cost, food contamination, polymer degradation and environmental leakage. Bio-based and biodegradable plastics are an important part of the solution.This collaborative project between Biome Technologies plc and Nottingham University's Chemical Engineering Department will accelerate manufacturing process development optimisation and scale-up of three novel bioplastics from Biome's current research in partnership with existing commercial customers.The project's outcome will enable the commercial deployment of a new range of sustainable and biodegradable materials within 2 years of launch, reducing landfill and the environmental burden of plastics whilst increasing productivity and growth for the wider UK (bio)economy.

自20世纪50年代以来，全球估计产生了83亿吨塑料废物（Science，2017），其中约80%留在垃圾填埋场或松散在环境中。全球塑料生产和处置的温室气体排放量是航空旅行的两倍多（自然气候变化，2019年）。根据目前的需求，石油基塑料的生产速度约为3.3亿吨/年。虽然有用，但它们的开发重点是功能，而不是报废性能及其对环境的影响。回收本身并不能完全解决“塑料问题”。这些因素包括成本、食品污染、聚合物降解和环境泄漏。生物基和生物降解塑料是解决方案的重要组成部分。BiomeTechnologies plc和诺丁汉大学化学工程系之间的这一合作项目将加速制造工艺开发优化和规模化，该项目的成果将使一系列新的可持续和可生物降解的生物塑料的商业化部署成为可能。在推出后的2年内，我们将生产更多的塑料材料，减少垃圾填埋和塑料的环境负担，同时提高生产力和更广泛的英国（生物）经济的增长。
