中文摘要
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贸易名称是创造材料和加工技术,以及非常自我意识到循环经济。立法和公众舆论正在推动塑料世界的变革。基于自然的解决方案需要基于自然的材料。以植树为例;在英国,大多数植树都受到干旱、不合季节的天气和/或微生物和肥力短缺的影响,植物失败率很高,无法获得最佳水平的植物生产力和存活率。化学肥料被证明对土壤中的天然微生物活性有负面影响,随着时间的推移,土壤会慢慢退化,需要越来越多的化学添加剂来支持作物产量。这一创新是对苗木处理方式的重大升级,以获得充分的生产力,并产生多种经济、环境和社会成果。取代不可生物降解的化石基塑料是CNC(Chestnut Natural Capital Ltd.的工作;该公司一直致力于他们的新型混合物,作为现有油基塑料的直接替代品,使用现有的制造技术。新型封装的开发将实现更广泛的塑料替代,同时还通过额外的功能促进土壤和植物健康。在英国,再生农业的主流化创造了一个商业机会,通过使用基于自然的解决方案来管理土壤,从而提高生产力。CNC的品牌Chestnut Bio将使用开发并受专利保护的独特材料来创建粉末封装系统,由此将创建用于农业/林业/园艺/顶级水果的多种产品。最初的产品将是一个固体胶囊系统浸渍有机土壤增强剂制成的天然混合物的微生物和微量营养素和抗旱粉末- Aquagrain。在确定的时间后,胶囊会自然降解,只剩下二氧化碳、水和惰性矿物质。Chestnut Natural Capital收集的证据表明,放弃向土壤添加石油和化学物质,采用基于自然的解决方案,将在短时间内降低投入成本,增加产出,显著提高利润和生产力。它还大大有助于实现净零排放和扭转生物多样性下降的趋势。Teesside是定位基于天然糖和微生物而不是石油的生物经济的理想选择,自由港将允许Chestnut Bio建立能力。
英文摘要
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 .
