"If we have biodegradable and naturally-sourced plastics, why are we still struggling with plastic waste?”Join our discussion with Brad Rodgers, the Vice President of Danimer Scientific. Danimer Scientific is a biotechnology company that works towards transitioning fossil-based plastics to biopolymers, particularly, specializing in PHA-based materials. Biopolymers, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), are naturally-sourced and biodegradable plastic materials. It's one of the solutions to tackle our plastic waste problem, but also has bottlenecks in the development process, and when it comes to changing the mainstream attitudes of consumers.Although that's the case, we discussed in this episode that currently, more and more large companies have put in investments and efforts to upscale the technologies to bring innovation to mass production.Check out more about Danimer Scientific at https://danimerscientific.com/Stay updated with us through our LinkedIn and InstagramIf you enjoy this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcast
