A research project led by Biome Bioplastics, based in Southampton, UK, has demonstrated the feasibility of extracting organic chemicals from lignin for the manufacture of bioplastics.
The results stem from a grant from the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, awarded to a consortium led by Biome in early 2013 to investigate lignin as a new source of organic chemicals for bioplastics manufacture, which could signficantly reduce costs and increase the performance of these sustainable materials.
