Happy New Year, fellow bio pioneers.

Let's start the year as we mean to go on and jump straight into some of the stories that broke over the holiday season... the bioeconomy never stops, not even for Santa!

Where shall we begin? Maybe some #grants to scale up cellulosic material #technologies, or #plastic film made from coffee #waste? Oh! What about new scientific research into #wood derived metals?

Wishing you all health and happiness for the year ahead.
