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 ~350mtpa. 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 project will unlock the UK based production of novel platform biomonomers and work towards increasing productivities required for the scale-up of novel bioplastics from Biome’s current research in partnership with existing commercial customers.The main work packages of this project will focus on scaling up production of these monomers, through strain engineering and fermentation optimisation, to yield techno economically feasible titres for viable commercial bioplastics production at scale. The project’s outcome will work towards unlocking the commercial deployment of a new range of sustainable and biodegradable materials that can contribute to the UK’s goal of 70% of plastics packaging effectively recycled or composted by 2025. Reducing in real terms the environmental burden of plastics whilst increasing productivity and growth for the wider UK (bio)economy.

自1950年代（科学，2017年）以来，全球产生了估计有83亿吨的塑料废物，其中约80％的垃圾在垃圾填埋场中或在环境中散落。塑料生产和处置所产生的全球温室气体排放量是航空旅行的两倍以上（自然气候变化，2019年）。与当前的需求一致，基于石油的塑料的生产速度约为350mtpa。虽然有用，但他们已经开发着专注于功能而不是临终表现，并且它们的环境影响。仅循环并不是对“塑料问题”的完整答案。这些包括成本，食物污染，聚合物降解和环境泄漏。 Bio-based and biodegradable plastics are an important part of the solution.This project will unlock the UK based production of novel platform biomonomers and work towards increasing products required for the scale-up of novel bioplastics from Biome’s current research in partnership with existing commercial customers.The main work packages of this project will focus on scaling up production of these monomers, through strain engineering and fermentation optimization, to yield technically feasible titles for viable commercial生物塑料生产规模。该项目的结果将致力于解锁新的可持续性和可生物降解材料的商业部署，这些材料可能有助于英国的目标有70％的塑料包装有效地回收或堆肥。在2025年之前。实际上减少塑料的环境燃烧，同时增加了更广泛的英国（Bio）（Bio（Bio）的生产率和增长，因此增加了塑料的环境。
