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 ~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 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% 仍留在垃圾填埋场或散落在环境中。全球塑料生产和处置产生的温室气体排放量是航空旅行排放量的两倍多（《自然气候变化》，2019）。根据当前需求，石油基塑料的生产速度约为每年 350 吨。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。仅回收并不能完全解决“塑料问题”。其中包括成本、食品污染、聚合物降解和环境泄漏。生物基和可生物降解塑料是该解决方案的重要组成部分。该项目将解锁英国新型平台生物单体的生产，并致力于提高 Biome 当前研究与现有商业客户合作扩大新型生物塑料所需的生产率。该项目的主要工作包将侧重于通过菌株工程和发酵优化扩大这些单体的生产，以产生技术经济可行的滴度大规模商业生物塑料生产。该项目的成果将致力于推动一系列新型可持续和可生物降解材料的商业部署，从而有助于实现英国到 2025 年 70% 的塑料包装得到有效回收或堆肥的目标。切实减少塑料的环境负担，同时提高生产力和更广泛的英国（生物）经济的增长。
