Biome Technologies a great window of opportunity for its Bioplastics division (Interview)

Myth #1: Biodegradable plastics don’t really biodegrade. The central criticism faced by the sector today revolves around certain ‘studies’ claiming that biodegradable products do not biodegrade. The first two questions I would ask those critics are

The world is facing a mounting plastic waste crisis, and finding sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics has become more critical than ever. In this quest, biotechnology emerges as a catalyst of change, revolutionizing the production of

As the world searches for alternatives to traditional packaging materials, what role do bioplastics have to play? We spoke with Hasso von Pogrell, Managing Director of European Bioplastics, to get his perspective on the upsides of

Biome Technologies plc (LON:BIOM) is a growth oriented, commercially driven technology group. The Group’s primary activity is the development of its fast growing business in bioplastics. The Group comprises two divisions: Biome Bioplastics and Stanelco RF Technologies.

New research from the University of Warwick in the UK reveals concerning findings about the impact of plastic pollution on river ecosystems. Plastic submerged in a river for a week was found to host opportunistic pathogens

Biodegradable plastics are a type of plastic that can be broken down by microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi, into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. These plastics are designed to degrade through natural processes, making them

What are bioplastics? How are they manufactured? Are they recyclable? Pampa García Molina, journalist and scientific educator, asked Auxiliadora Prieto, a research professor at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research of CSIC.  When we say bioplastics, many people

Bioplastic is defined as bio-based polymers for plastic production and also refers to biodegradable in nature (Sudhakar et al., 2023; Vert et al., 2012). Bioplastics are a family of materials with various properties and several applications

What are bioplastics? Bioplastics are a family of materials made from bio-based sources or biodegradable materials. In some cases, a bioplastic may be both bio-based and biodegradable. Substances used to manufacture bioplastics include vegetable fats and

In a world increasingly awakened to the perils of plastic pollution, the biodegradable plastics industry is emerging as a beacon of hope. This dynamic sector is not only witnessing significant demand but also undergoing a transformation

To measure the impact of bioplastics in architecture, we must first understand what they are and how they differ from conventional plastics. Bioplastics are polymeric materials made from renewable sources such as corn starch, sugar cane,

Effective this week, England is imposing a ban on single-use plastics such as plates, utensils, and specific types of polystyrene cups and containers. Restaurants, stores, and others will be prohibited from distributing single-use plastic items to

The exciting part of plastic sustainability is that there are so many environmental and social impacts to spotlight. Bioplastics, for instance, offer unique solutions to the portfolio of sustainable solutions within the plastics industry. Biobased and/or

Introduction: In the modern world, sustainability is a top priority in packaging. With global plastic pollution posing a severe threat, the demand for eco-friendly alternatives has never been more critical. Enter bioplastics – innovative materials derived
