By harnessing the natural ability of plant proteins to self-assemble, we have created a new class of structured protein materials with remarkable functional properties. Our protein resin can be used to produce a range of materials with highly controlled properties, including films and coatings for drop-in replacement to synthetic polymers in packaging applications and microcapsules for active ingredient in food and non-food applications.

This proposed project is dedicated to conducting an in-depth analysis of our future feedstock supply chains, building market intelligence in our identified target markets and assessing sustainability of identified routes-to-market in different geographies. We aim to unlock barriers for more sustainable commercialisation by making better informed decisions when considering feedstocks and their impacts on our business.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
