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 biodegradable and environmentally friendly bioplastics.
Biotechnology’s pivotal role lies in its ability to harness the potential of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for bioplastics production. Through genetic engineering, microorganisms have been transformed into efficient bioplastic factories. No longer relying on fossil fuels, these genetically modified microorganisms thrive on renewable resources, converting sugars and plant biomass into bioplastics through the process of fermentation. This novel approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also provides bioplastics that are biodegradable and compostable.
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.
