Growing the Future: Scaling White Biotech to Outperform Fossil Plastics with Jeroen van Rotterdam
Join Jeroen van Rotterdam, Co-Founder and CEO of Foamlab, for a deep dive into the industrial transition from extracted synthetic foams to bio-fabricated materials grown by nature. Every year, millions of tons of fossil-based plastic foams are manufactured for packaging, insulation, textiles, and automotive components—materials that generate persistent microplastic pollution and are virtually impossible to recycle economically. Jeroen explains why sustainability shouldn't be a trade-off, how white biotechnology yields materials with mechanical properties superior to petrochemical plastics…
