Using Nature for Packaging

from Foresight with Greg Williams Hosted by WIRED UK

In this episode of our foresight climate change series, Greg chats to Insiya Jafferjee the CEO and cofounder of UK biotech startup, Shellworks that aims to replace plastic with materials based in nature. It is estimated that UK households throw away a staggering 100 billion pieces of plastic packaging a year, averaging 66 items per household per week. In this episode, Insiya discusses how her interdisciplinary team is innovating in material science in order to be able to scale products that after use, will be consumed by microbes that are abundant in soil and marine environments.
