The partnership aims to develop sustainable, renewable bioplastic building blocks using advanced fermentation processes to replace petroleum-derived materials in packaging, personal care, health, and consumer goods applications.
The initiative is a two-year project valued at up to C$1.5 million (£814,000).
The project is supported by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) and UK Research and Innovation's Innovate UK.
The partners will use strain engineering and fermentation trials in both Canada and the UK to develop a sustainable system for producing bio-based, renewable building blocks for bioplastics.
The goal is to establish a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective pathway for producing renewable plastics that reduces fossil fuel dependence, minimizes waste, and meets performance expectations for everyday products.
Renaissance BioScience is based in Vancouver, Canada, while Biome Bioplastics has headquarters in the UK with offices in Canada and USA. The work will involve fermentation trials in both Canada and the UK.
Renaissance brings world-class capability in microbial engineering and bioengineered yeast, while Biome contributes engineering biology capability and experience in sustainable materials development and scale-up.
The global sustainable chemicals market is projected to exceed US$39 billion by 2034.
