Scale-up and techno-economic validation of a biobased monomer production process (based on a novel synthetic biotechnology platform) for use in a new generation of highly functional and biodegradable bioplastic polymers (BioMonomer-Scale)

Biome Technologies寻求加强其下一代生物分子的开发，为公司提供高价值、高性能的可持续聚合物产品组合。这些反过来又将进一步增强公司的竞争力，并有助于摆脱以化石石油为基础的聚合物行业。该项目与诺丁汉大学合作，将在封闭的环境中使用一种强大的、代谢多样化的生物(_Cupriavidus Necator_)，以中试规模生产目标生物塑料单体。该工作使用先进的合成生物学技术和最先进的工艺来生产高度可生物降解的、适用于软包装应用的可堆肥和可回收生物塑料聚合物。该项目建立在合作伙伴先前工作的基础上，有可能显著促进英国在先进生物和可堆肥包装材料开发领域的科学和商业地位，使英国能够实现其25年的环境目标。

"Biome Technologies seeks to enhance its development of next generation, bio-based molecules to provide the company with a portfolio of high-value, high-performance sustainable polymers. These in turn will further strengthen the competitiveness of the company and contribute to the transition away from the fossil-oil based polymer industry.This project, in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, will use a robust, metabolically diverse organism (_Cupriavidus necator_), in a contained environment, to produce target bioplastic monomers at pilot-scale.The work uses advanced synthetic biology techniques and state-of-the-art processing for the production of highly biodegradable, compostable and recyclable bioplastic polymers suitable for flexible packaging applications.This project builds on previous work by the partners and has the potential to significantly contribute to the UK's scientific and commercial position in the field of advanced bio-based and compostable packaging material development, allowing the UK to reach its 25-year environmental target."
