"Plastics have become a core part of the global economy, with global consumption rising from 15Mt in 1964 to 311Mt in 2014\. This rapid growth has had a huge environment impact, as large-volume plastic production has created unsustainable levels of waste and reliance on non-renewables.VOID is a groundbreaking materials science company developing a new and extensively patented plastic film technology (branded VO+) that will address these important sustainability challenges.VO+ is a revolutionary technology that engineers micro- and nano-scale voids (hollow cavities) into commodity and bio-plastics to make today's products with up to 40% less plastic. The resulting structures create lighter, stronger, and more sustainable products.This project is targeting the most consumed plastic film, Linear-Low Density Polyethylene film. VO+ will provide a rapidly adoptable and highly impactful sustainability solution for this mass market."

“塑料已成为全球经济的核心部分，全球消费量从1964年的1500万吨增加到2014年的3.11亿吨。这种快速增长对环境产生了巨大的影响，由于大规模的塑料生产造成了不可持续的浪费水平和对不可再生能源的依赖。VOID是一家开创性的材料科学公司，开发了一种新的、获得广泛专利的塑料薄膜技术（品牌VO+），将解决这些重要的可持续性挑战。VO+是一项革命性的技术，工程师微米和纳米级的空隙将塑料（中空腔体）转化为商品塑料和生物塑料，使当今产品的塑料用量减少多达40%。由此产生的结构创造更轻，更强，更可持续的产品。该项目针对的是最消耗的塑料薄膜，线性低密度聚乙烯薄膜。VO+将为这个大众市场提供一个快速采用和高度影响力的可持续发展解决方案。"
