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 ~330mtpa. 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 collaborative project between Biome Technologies plc and Nottingham University's Chemical Engineering Department will accelerate manufacturing process development optimisation and scale-up of three novel bioplastics from Biome's current research in partnership with existing commercial customers.The project's outcome will enable the commercial deployment of a new range of sustainable and biodegradable materials within 2 years of launch, reducing landfill and the environmental burden of plastics whilst increasing productivity and growth for the wider UK (bio)economy.

自1950年代（科学，2017年）以来，全球产生了估计有83亿吨的塑料废物，其中约80％的垃圾在垃圾填埋场中或在环境中散落。塑料生产和处置所产生的全球温室气体排放量是航空旅行的两倍以上（自然气候变化，2019年）。与当前的需求一致，基于油的塑料的生产速度约为330mtpa。虽然有用，但他们已经开发着专注于功能而不是寿命终止的表现，并且它们的环境影响。仅循环并不是对“塑料问题”的完整答案。这些包括成本，食物污染，聚合物降解和环境泄漏。基于生物的和可生物降解的塑料是解决方案的重要组成部分。BiomeTechnologies plc和诺丁汉大学化学工程系之间的合作项目将加速生产过程的开发和扩大Biome当前与现有商业客户合作伙伴关系的新型生物塑料的优化和扩大。该项目的成果将使新的材料与新的材料进行启动，并启用了新的生物范围。垃圾填埋场和塑料的环境负担，同时提高了英国（BIO）经济的生产率和增长。
