Plastic waste which cannot be mechanically recycled can be used to produce refinery type products like aviation fuel. This and other opportunities for the use plastic waste will be explored in this session.

The KTN Chemistry and Industrial Biotechnology Team believe that given the current policy messages around Net Zero and the drive towards a more Circular Economy, there is a need to act now to develop new value chains for chemicals from alternative feedstocks so that we can lead in Net Zero chemical manufacturing.

Following our recent articles on low carbon infrastructure and alternative feedstocks (which also introduced our new Capability Map) we now invite you to join this webinar series which will allow you to connect to different technologies and explore the innovation opportunities to accelerate Net Zero chemical manufacturing in more detail.

Through this webinar series you will hear from in-sector and cross-sector experts who will share their knowledge and help our community stimulate ideas around how to build on our capabilities and leverage future opportunities. This series will culminate in an interactive brokerage event that will identify exciting, collaborative, market-led projects that will accelerate our Net Zero ambitions.

This activity is sponsored by our partners, Innovate UK. We are working alongside other key organisations and industry partners who share this vision and desire to accelerate our Net Zero ambitions. If you have capability in chemical and industrial biotechnology innovation and are passionate about the move to Net Zero and Circular Economy then come and join this Webinar Series.
