06 Oct 2022 --- Last month, US President Joe Biden gave an executive order to advance American biotechnology and biomanufacturing. New initiatives and funding will boost the bioplastics market – part of the government’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions, lower prices, strengthen supply chains and promote energy security. Following this order was a White House summit in which various experts from the field of biotechnology spoke on a panel including members of congress, cabinet secretaries, and other industry and academic leaders, as well as a panel on biotechnology R&D to solve pressing challenges.
