  Teysha Technologies   has been issued a Certificate of Biodegradability for its polymer platform AggiePol following successful OECD 310 testing. Expand Teysha Technologies Has Teysha Technologies found a ‘truly sustainable’ alternative to bioplastic? Professor Karen Wooley, CTO, Teysha Technologies AggiePol, a novel bioplastic derived entirely from natural feedstocks, has been confirmed to be readily biodegradable, meaning that it biodegrades to natural, non-harmful sugars. The material represents what Teysha Technologioes names as a ‘genuinely sustainable’ plastic replacement, unlike partially petroleum-based conventional bioplastics. Many additives are  microplastics  used in cosmetics products. For example, a shower gel containing microplastics can deposit microbeads in waterways. Globally, governments are implementing legislation, such as banning exfoliating plastic microbeads, and businesses are seeking sustainable alternative materials. Matthew Stone, Chair o...

  In this article, Duncan Clarke Teysha Technologies , head of operations at biodegradable biopolymer research platform Teysha Technologies, explains how festivals must start offering attendees eco-friendly alternatives and invest in sustainability schemes that develop new biodegradable materials to tackle large-scale littering. For many, the return of events like the Reading Festival will be a blessing after a long period of isolation during the global pandemic. However, many people are waiting in trepidation for the scenes of fields covered with discarded plastic waste that has been a regular occurrence since the iconic Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969, one of the UK’s first music festivals.  However, music festivals don’t have to be synonymous with mass littering and festival organizers are trying to change this stereotype. For example, Glastonbury, which produces around 2,000 tonnes of waste per year, has required attendees to adhere to the Glastonbury Green Pledge sin...

  The Prime Minister has set out new plans to Build Back Greener by making the UK the world leader in clean wind energy – creating jobs, slashing carbon emissions and boosting exports. £160 million will be made available to upgrade ports and infrastructure across communities like in Teesside and Humber in Northern England, Scotland and Wales to hugely increase our offshore wind capacity, which is already the largest in the world and currently meets 10 percent of our electricity demand. These commitments are the first stage outlined as part of the Prime Minister’s ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, which will be set out fully later this year. This is expected to include ambitious targets and major investment into industries, innovation and infrastructure that will accelerate the UK’s path to net zero by 2050. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: Our seas hold immense potential to power our homes and communities with low-cost green energy and we are already leading the w...

  Hislop has previously held management and directorial positions at numerous businesses in the energy and natural resource industries, devoting much of the past decade to working with renewable energy companies. This included serving as the chief financial officer of 2Co Energy, a company that developed clean energy from coal through carbon capture and storage technology. The appointment of Hislop marks the next phase of development for Renovare, which recently led the first public showcase of its technology at a demo facility in Alliance Dairies in Florida. During the event, the company demonstrated how its process can turn biodegradable organic waste, such as that produced on a dairy farm, into a liquid fuel that is chemically similar to traditional petroleum-based diesel and commercial jet fuel. “Renovare Fuels’ technology is unlike anything else currently in use and signals the beginning of a very exciting time for the green energy sector and industries that are producing biod...

  When the by-products of agriculture, industry and day-to-day life arrive at a waste processing facility, by most accounts they’ve reached the end of their useful life. However, the millions of tonnes of readily biodegradable waste produced each year hasn’t finished being useful yet. Here, Matthew Stone, Chairman of Renovare Fuels , explains how waste material like this can help displace over two billion litres of fossil fuels each year — and generate financial rewards When the by-products of agriculture, industry and day-to-day life arrive at a waste processing facility, by most accounts they’ve reached the end of their useful life.

  The report by the changemakers helps to highlight the dangers of global warming and calls for leading businesses to take responsibility for contributing to the climate crisis. Matthew Stone Teysha Technologies , Managing Director at Teysha Technologies , a polycarbonate research platform, shares how investing in biodegradable polymer substitutes could lead to the end of single-use plastics for good. These companies must take responsibility for their colossal plastic waste footprints and start to invest in cheaper, more durable, and genuinely sustainable, greener alternatives. The question is, how can this be achieved? Looking for Liquid Gold Matthew Stone of Teysha Technologies says: “It is evident that plastic production damages our environment, so why do we continue to produce it? The simple answer is that it is low-cost, durable, and malleable, making it a suitable material for use in industrial and consumer products. Every stage of the plastic lifecycle contributes considerab...

  The first half of 2020 has been dominated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These effects are far-reaching, and most will be long-lasting. The economy, society and the environment have all been affected in different ways. Lockdown measures have left many people unemployed and many businesses losing income. However, combined with travel restrictions, the environment has benefitted from the lockdown. Committee on Climate Change The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) issued its annual parliamentary report to the UK government in June 2020. The report delivers comprehensive advice on accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, greener sources of energy as part of the economic recovery from the pandemic. This is the first time the CCC has outlined specific recommendations for each department of government, with urgent steps to be put in place to facilitate a green recovery. Carbon Capture and Storage Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies allow for a reduct...

  UK company Matthew Stone Teysha Technologies have developed an entirely unique technology platform for the production of an organic-based, plastic substitute with almost unlimited market applications. The European Commission's lawmakers recently announced plans to ban a range of plastic items, including single-use plates, straws and cutlery by 2021 with new rules that mark increasingly ambitious efforts by governments to reduce marine pollution. European officials said the move was also part of a broader strategy to create a market for recycled plastics and spur investment in new types of packaging in the bloc. The EU move is the latest in a series of similar policies which have been implemented by governments across the world as concerns have grown over plastics polluting oceans, damaging marine wildlife and infecting our food chain. Existing organic plastic substitutes are inhibited by limited usability, or the need to be treated in specific conditions to biodegrade. Teysha...
