BioActivewear: Feasibility of Bio-Based PET Alternatives for the Next Generation of Performance Apparel

1 Feb 2026 to 31 Mar 2026

Awarded
£24,736
Total cost £24,736

The BioActivewear project will develop new bio-based, renewable polymers designed to reduce the environmental impact of high-performance textiles. Today's activewear and technical fabrics rely heavily on fossil-derived polyester (PET), a durable and versatile material that also carries a significant carbon footprint and contributes to long-term microplast...

2025 Department for Science, Innovation & Technology Lead participant

BioPolyAce: Defossilisation – Final Step Process Validation and Pilot Production of Next-Generation UK Bio-Based Compostable Polymers

1 Nov 2025 to 28 Feb 2026

Awarded
£126,378
Total cost £126,378

The chemical and materials sectors are under urgent pressure to decarbonise. In the coming years, "defossilisation" --- replacing fossil carbon with renewable sources --- will be both an environmental imperative and a major economic opportunity. The UK has a chance to lead this transition, but the challenge is significant: today's global oil-based supply ...

2024 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Determining the efficacy and market potential of an underrated bio-based platform chemical (BioPlatScope)

1 Oct 2024 to 31 Mar 2025

Awarded
£32,404
Total cost £46,292

The use of bio-based cyclic dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) as replacements for fossil-derived terephthalic acid (TA) has gathered increasing interest over the last decade due to their more sustainable production, enhanced biodegradation, and differentiated properties compared to widely used fossil-based TA. The pioneering DCA, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)...

2024 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Process and product optimisation through to scale-up and customer validation of a novel bio-based and compostable polymer(BioPolySummit)

1 Sep 2024 to 28 Feb 2026

Awarded
£213,149
Total cost £304,498

An estimated 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic waste have been generated globally since the 1950s (Statista, 2022) of which over 50% remains in landfill or loose in the environment. Global greenhouse gas emissions from the production, recycling, and disposal of plastics are more than double that of air travel (Nature Climate Change,2019). In line with current...

2024 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Predicting process behaviour of bio based compostables (Procomp)

1 Mar 2024 to 31 May 2024

Awarded
£18,249
Total cost £18,249

A long-established barrier to growth for the global biopolymer industry has been producing a grade of material that is bio-based, low cost and home compostable. Biome Bioplastics have determined a potential method to produce a material that can be successfully composted at lower temperatures (~25oC), rather than the industry standard temperature (~55oC). ...

2023 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Feasibility study into the production of Bio-based monomers by fermentation at scale (Feasi-Ferm)

1 Jul 2023 to 31 Dec 2023

Awarded

2022 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Development of High Barrier, bio-based and compostable flexible films using nanocellulose for the food packaging market (BarBi project)

1 Nov 2022 to 31 Oct 2024

Awarded
£243,916
Total cost £348,452

Plastics are an essential part of life as we know it. However, their sourcing from fossil-based raw materials and end-of-life issues have contributed to the scrutiny and desire for change at governmental, industrial and societal levels. Biome's novel packaging impacts both issues - sourced from renewable bio-based origins and compostable. An estimated 9.2...

2022 Collaborative R&D Lead participant
