Biome Technologies, bioplastics and radio frequency technology business, said Thursday it had been awarded a further £0.6m of grant funding from Innovate UK to support a project focused on pilot-scale production of a 'novel' bioplastic building block. This two-year, £0.8m project in collaboration with the University of Nottingham would use a 'robust, metabolically diverse organism (Cupriavidus necator) in a contained environment to produce PDCA at pilot-scale,' the company said.
