Renaissance BioScience Corp., a global expert in bioengineered yeast for the agriculture, food, environmental and energy industries, has entered into a collaboration with UK-based Biome Bioplastics Limited on a two-year, initiative valued at up to $1.5 million (£814,000) to innovate sustainable, renewable bioplastic building block production using advanced fermentation processes. The project will target applications in packaging, personal care, health, and consumer goods, offering sustainable, high-performance alternatives to conventional oil-based plastics.
The partnership is supported by advisory services and funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) and UK Research and Innovation’s Innovate UK. This bilateral support will provide resources to advance the project and deliver meaningful environmental benefits for both countries.
