The material science and biotech ecosystem in the UK is one of the strongest, most advanced and highly skilled in the world. It is taking a radical look at the material impact of multiple industries, to challenge traditional practices and resource scarcity and inform highly effective new solutions with less impact on, and damage done, to the planet. From bio-based solutions which learn from nature to radical decarbonisation of intensive industries, from transforming industrial-scale dyeing to cracking the very simplest matter of the universe. These are sustainable material solutions that nourish, rather than harm.
