🤝 Primient and Synonym partner to accelerate bioproduct innovation and commercialization in the US The partnership fast-tracks the development of next-generation bioproducts by combining Primient's extensive experience in bioproducts and manufacturing with Synonym’s advanced biomanufacturing platforms and digital tools. The first project, iPROOF, will upgrade fermentation assets at Primient's Decatur, IL facility. Funded in part by a U.S. Department of Commerce Tech Hub Grant, iPROOF aims to create a platform for companies to scale up their precision fermentation products from pilot to commercial scale. The partnership’s combined resources will provide extensive support to companies across various stages of product development, particularly those in the precision fermentation sector. This will help overcome barriers to market entry, allowing faster and more efficient commercialization of bioproducts.

Every day brings new advancements in bioplastics. Industry leads the way to increase the production and application of bioplastics to meet the increasing demand. #Bioplastics #BioplasticsWeek #Biobased #Sustainability

🌱 Are plant-based plastics the future of sustainable bioprocessing? I recently had the opportunity to share my thoughts on this topic with Pharma Life Sciences, exploring how bio-based materials could reshape single-use systems in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. While the potential is exciting, there are hurdles to overcome - from performance requirements to cost considerations. Curious about what this shift could mean for our industry? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eenAdFAN. What's your view on bio-based plastics in single-use systems? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! #sustainability #bioprocessing #innovation #biotech Alivia Kaylor, MSc

Parx Materials NV, a Rotterdam-based creator and supplier of non-biocidal alternatives to traditional antimicrobial and fouling-prevention methods, has acquired the first machine for its new production set-up in Italy, signalling the start of a new era for Parx Materials. Parx Materials

Today, meet Linium Biochemicals, one of our 2024 Finalists! 💡 Linium Biochemicals unlocks a new supply of fossil-free and low-carbon raw materials for essential everyday products. They use #lignin, a major wood component, the only natural and abundant source of aromatic molecules. ⚗💚 🤓 Did you know? Aromatic #chemicals are an essential class of compounds: they amount to nearly half of all chemicals used and they are needed in most sectors, from plastics to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, dyes, etc. However, their production will cause 3% of global GHG emissions by 2050 in the best-case scenario.

However, to date there has been little data highlighting the benefits of these rising mechanochemical technologies with regard to process scale-up activities or implementation in commercial production scale. Herein, we report the first application of bead-mill technology (Dyno®-mill) for the sustainable mechanochemical synthesis of Acetaminophen, known under the brand name Paracetamol. Using the Beckmann rearrangement, the optimized solvent-free methodology delivered a final product on a scale of several tens of grams.  #sustainable #pharmaceutical #production

Making sure that we are using the most sustainable ingredients possible is one of the most important issues for the global cosmetics industry. 🌿   We are very happy to see that companies designing bio-based and biodegradable replacements to petrochemicals, and especially that these alternatives are being financed properly.   Read this article to see just how CELLUGY®, a Danish industrial biotechnology start-up, are creating ingredients that could be the future of a sustainable cosmetics industry!   https://lnkd.in/gyCv-hbd

These packaging solutions utilize biodegradable polymers derived from renewable resources and decompose over time without leaving waste. There is increasing adoption of bio-based polymers derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch and #sugarcane, to create biodegradable pharmaceutical packaging. Manufacturers are innovating to enhance the performance and cost-effectiveness of these #materials, ensuring they meet regulatory standards for drug packaging. 📈 Biodegradable Packaging Market size was valued at USD 88.52 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 137.32 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2024 to 2032. 📌 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: In January 2023, Aptar Pharma, a division of AptarGroup, Inc., introduced APF Futurity, a metal-free nasal spray crafted from polyolefin materials integrated with recycling disruptors.
