Climate change, net zero and the biodiversity crisis.....Chestnut Bio - the trading name of Chestnut Natural Capital Limited is creating materials and processing technology as well as being very self aware to the circular economy. Legislation and public opinion is driving change in the world of plastic. Nature based solutions require nature based materials.Take tree planting as an example; most tree planting in the UK is being increasingly impacted from high levels of plant failure due to drought, unseasonable weather and or a shortage of microbes and fertility to get the best level of plant productivity and survival. Chemical fertilisers are demonstrated to have a negative impact on natural microbial activity in the soil, slowly degrading the soil over time, requiring more and more chemical additives to support crop yields. The innovation is a significant upgrade in how seedlings are treated to get full productivity with multiple economic, environmental and societal outcomes.Replacing non-biodegradable fossil-based plastics is a key aim for CNC's (Chestnut Natural Capital Ltd.'s) work; the company has been working on their novel blends as direct drop-in replacements for existing oil-based plastics, using existing manufacturing technologies. The development of the novel encapsulation will enable wider plastic-replacement, while also contributing to soil and plant health through additional functionality. The mainstreaming of regenerative agriculture in the UK has created a commercial opportunity to raise productivity by looking after soils using nature-based solutions.CNC's brand Chestnut Bio will use the unique material developed and protected by patent to create a powder encapsulation system, from which several products for agriculture/forestry/horticulture/top fruit will be created. The initial product will be a solid capsule system impregnated with organic soil enhancers made from a natural blend of microbes and micronutrients and drought resistant powder - Aquagrain. After the decided upon time the capsules will degrade naturally to nothing more than CO2, water and inert minerals.Evidence gathered by Chestnut Natural Capital suggests that a move away from oil-based and chemical additions to soil, embracing nature-based solutions, will over a short period of time reduce input costs and increase outputs significantly increasing profit and productivity. It also contributes significantly to the journey to net zero and the reversal of the decline in biodiversity. Teesside is ideal for locating a bioeconomy based on natural sugars and microbes rather than oil, The freeport will allow Chestnut Bio to build capacity .

气候变化、净零和生物多样性危机.板栗生物-板栗自然资本有限公司的商号正在创造材料和加工技术，并对循环经济有很强的自我意识。立法和舆论正在推动塑料世界的变革。以自然为基础的解决方案需要以自然为基础的材料。以植树为例；英国的大多数植树正越来越多地受到干旱、不合时宜的天气和/或缺乏微生物和肥力以获得最佳植物生产力和生存水平的植物退化的影响。化肥被证明对土壤中的自然微生物活动有负面影响，随着时间的推移土壤慢慢降解，需要越来越多的化学添加剂来支持作物产量。这项创新是对苗木处理方式的重大升级，以获得多重经济、环境和社会成果。取代不可生物降解的化石塑料是板栗自然资本有限公司S工作的关键目标；该公司一直在利用现有的制造技术，开发新型混合物，作为现有石油基塑料的直接替代品。新型胶囊的开发将实现更广泛的塑料替代，同时还通过额外的功能对土壤和植物健康做出贡献。在英国，再生农业的主流创造了一个商业机会，通过使用基于自然的解决方案来照料土壤来提高生产率。网通的品牌栗子生物将使用开发和受专利保护的独特材料来创建粉末封装系统，由此将创造出几种用于农业/林业/园艺/顶级水果的产品。最初的产品将是一种固体胶囊系统，其中浸入了有机土壤增强剂，这些土壤增强剂是由微生物和微量营养素的天然混合物以及抗旱粉末--Aquagrain制成的。在确定的时间之后，胶囊将自然降解为二氧化碳、水和惰性矿物。栗子自然资本公司收集的证据表明，从以石油为基础的和化学物质添加到土壤中，采用基于自然的解决方案，将在短期内降低投入成本，增加产出，显著提高利润和生产率。它还为实现净零和扭转生物多样性下降的趋势做出了重大贡献。蒂赛德是建立以天然糖和微生物而不是石油为基础的生物经济的理想之地，自由港将允许板栗生物建立产能。
