Conagen’s Fermentation Technology To Support DARPA’s ReSource Sustainability Program

Bedford, Mass., Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Massachusetts-based biotech Conagen announced its participation in a collaboration supporting the ReSource program funded by a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) grant. The project aims to leverage Conagen’s proprietary fermentation technology to convert plastics and other energy-dense waste into valuable, reusable materials.

“Humanity needs to make better use of plastic resources and close the recycling loop,” said Casey Lippmeier, Ph.D., vice president of innovation at Conagen. This cooperative agreement project will demonstrate the value of recycled material for building a sustainable infrastructure.”

Under the DOD, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office created the ReSource Program to research and develop an integrated self-containment system. The project explores using a combination of synthetic biology and chemical technology for turning plastic waste into critical supplies.

Professor Chris A. Voigt, Ph.D., directs the project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in collaboration with Conagen and Novoloop. The Voigt lab has expertise in microbial genetic design and engineering and has created tools and platform technologies central to the effort.

Conagen was selected as the fermentation scale-up partner for its synthetic biology expertise, purification process development capability, and world-scale manufacturing.

“While conventional fermentation has been used for centuries to make foods and beverages, precision fermentation has become the core resource for commercializing natural and sustainable synthetic biology products,” said Lippmeier.

Novoloop uses chemical technologies to decompose plastic waste into chemical building blocks, enabling the downstream fermentation to make bio-products.

“Recycling plastic waste is just the beginning,” says Lippmeier. “This DARPA-funded project primarily seeks to improve the efficient use of resources by our troops.  However, the technology for converting plastics and bio-plastics into other higher-value materials should create incentives to remove these pollutants from the environment and support humanitarian efforts with renewable sources of food, nutrition, and water.”

Now that Phase I is complete, the MIT team, including Conagen, advance to Phase II when they
hope to achieve purifying, scaling, and upcycling waste into valuable products.
About Voigt Lab, MIT
Voigt Lab is focused on the development of a programming language for cells. A genetic program consists of a combination of genetic circuits, each of which uses biochemistry to replicate a function analogous to an electronic circuit (e.g., a logic gate) and applying these tools to problems in biotechnology http://web.mit.edu/voigtlab/.

About Conagen

Conagen is a product-focused synthetic biology R&D company with large-scale manufacturing capabilities. Our scientists and engineers use the latest synthetic biology tools to develop high-quality, sustainable, nature-based products by precision fermentation and enzymatic bioconversion. We focus on the bioproduction of high-value ingredients for food, nutrition, flavors and fragrances, pharmaceutical, and renewable materials industries. www.conagen.com

About Novoloop
Novoloop was founded in 2015 to deliver next-generation materials made from plastic waste via its patented low-carbon upcycling technology ATOD™. Through its proprietary dicarboxylic acid platform, hard-to-recycle plastic waste is transformed into virgin quality materials with superior sustainability at competitive pricing. With its first product, Oistre™, Novoloop provides sustainable and customizable thermoplastic polyurethane solutions for the footwear, sporting goods, and automotive sectors.

An emphasis on professional services in Humen’s just-released e-commerce park standards

HUMEN, China, Dec. 8, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/– Humen E-Commerce Industrial Park (hereinafter referred to as “Park”), a flagship site of Dongguan, saw the opening of the Eighth Humen International E-Commerce Festival and the release of two official documents on December 3, 2021. The then-published Standards for the Supply Chain Administration in the Livestreaming Base and the Standards for Services in the E-Commerce Service Center are designed to spur the high-quality development of China’s e-commerce sector by coordinating with the Park’s equals across the country.

By leveraging the manufacturing strength of Dongguan and the fashion resources of Humen, the e-commerce feast has grown into an influential force behind the development of e-commerce in China.

“At this festival, the e-commerce giant Alibaba has worked with Humen to initiate an innovative model that integrates platforms for B2B, B2C, and domestic and overseas markets with a single region,” said Li Dingru, president of Humen E-Commerce Association, adding that the event would see a display of over 1,000 outstanding businesses in an exclusive e-commerce exhibition section.

“The Technical Committee on E-Commerce Industrial Park Standardization of Guangdong Province established its secretariat in the Park. And since then, the town has supported the Committee in formulating and revising four national standards, two local industry standards, and ten alliance (group) standards,” noted Wu Qingqiu, town mayor of Humen.

“Recent years have seen local governments going in for the building of e-commerce industrial parks that delivered benefits early on,” said Wang Wei, president of Humen E-Commerce Industrial Park. He believed that, however, given intensifying competition and increasing viewership costs, these e-commerce centers cannot stand out from the crowd just because of eye-catching products and the most notable online influencers and should shift their focus towards public services.

At this point, the Park is known to have created an industrial chain that describes the full array of activities needed to create a product or service, ranging from R&D and design and product testing to storage and platform operation to photography, art design, livestreaming marketing, and financing.

Humen has, in fact, inaugurated a host of public service platforms, such as CNTAC Testing Center (Humen), Humen Fashion Design & Research and Development Center, China Fabric Sample Warehouse Humen Brach, Humen E-Commerce Service Center, and 1840 Livestreaming Base. That means an emerging industrial landscape, where service providers cluster and e-commerce platforms join hands for common growth, has taken hold.

As to the future of the thriving sector in Humen, Wu believed that the fashion internet commerce frontrunner promises to go versatile by further embracing e-commerce applications in such areas as apparel, electronics, cables, tourism, and commerce. And this is how the town moves towards a critical hub for e-commerce platforms in southern China.

Xinhua Silk Road: China’s Yuxi benefits from China-Laos Railway, strives to build int’l logistics hub

BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the China-Laos Railway recently started operation, the city of Yuxi in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, as an important city along the route, is expected to forge itself into an international logistics hub.

The China-Laos Railway runs 1,035 km, including 422 km in Laos, from the city of Kunming, capital city of Yunnan Province, to Lao capital Vientiane, slashing the travel time between the two cities to about 10 hours. The railway has five stops in Yuxi, including Yuxi, Yanhe, Eshan, Huanian and Yuanjiang.

As the China-Laos Railway starting operation, Yuxi will expand its logistics services along with other industries from the Yanhe and the South freight train stations. This will further promote the construction of the city as an international logistics port providing nationwide services with extension to South and Southeast Asia.

Located in the middle part of Yunnan, Yuxi is not only a crucial transport center, but also a home to the province’s tobacco, vegetables, fruits and flowers production, a gathering area for the industries of cigarette, mining and metallurgy, equipment manufacturing and biological medicine, as well as the pilot zone for digital economy.

The city’s continuous effort in developing modern industrial system has also contributed to the boost of its logistics industry. In the year 2020, Yuxi’s freight volume reached 160 million tons, with its logistics industry making 63.2 billion yuan in annual income.
