Formulating Materials- Abstract6

Beer into leather?  Creating plastic-free biomaterials from a global waste source Dr Dan Whitaker Our material landscape is dominated by plastics and petrochemicals, this wasn’t always the case. Humanity needs to use nature’s building blocks to build a clean future. Arda Biomaterials’ first innovation, New Grain, is an animal and plastic-free leather alternative made out of proteins […]
