BioPlastek 2012: Unlocking the Potential of Seaweed as Feedstock for Bioplastics

Seaweed has long been recognized as having potential to be one of the most environmentally sustainable and cost effective feedstocks for the production of fuels and chemicals. it is globally abundant, has very high sugar content, is fast growing, does not require fertilizer or fresh water, does not have lignin, and can be easily be cultivated. Scientists at Bio Architecture Lab (BAL) have developed the first ever microbe capable of metabolizing all of the major sugars found in brown seaweed, making this sugar significantly less costly than those derived from sugarcane or corn. BAL will unveil details of its proprietary technology at BioPlastek 2012, March 28-30 in Arlington, Virginia, USA.
