anyone thinking of funding such projects should look at how much polyethylene, polypropylene and PET is consumed each year and then ask how much bioderived plastics can be produced and what resources will be consumed to do so. It won’t be pretty. I’d question the credibility of the Cambridge claim of industrial scalability unless they are talking about industrial in a 18th century context.
