Microbial Bioproduction of Chemicals from Bread and Potato Waste Carbohydrates
Microbial Bioproduction of Chemicals from Bread and Potato Waste Carbohydrates

Funding from IBioIC’s Feasibility Fund enabled C-Source Renewables and Stephen Wallace from the University of Edinburgh to work together to assess the potential for bread and potato waste generated from food waste to be used as a viable glucose replacement for the bioproduction of three chemicals used to make valuable industrial products which are currently manufactured from diminishing fossil resources.

Improving the sustainability of resins and films with natural lignin derived from biomass residues
Improving the sustainability of resins and films with natural lignin derived from biomass residues

Lignin is a material obtained from woody biomass, such as forestry waste suitable for a range of applications. Sonichem wanted to investigate the feasibility of using their natural lignin in the production of advanced, bio-based and sustainable films and resins in packaging and composite manufacturing.
