The Grain-4-Lab mission is to reduce plastic waste from laboratories by providing a sound, simple, and sustainable alternative. The team saw vast quantities of plastic waste produced by life science laboratories around the world as well as waste produced by breweries and distilleries, and saw an opportunity to address two problems simultaneously—their solution: a biodegradable plastic, generated with bacteria and novel chemistry, using the waste from breweries and distilleries. Dr. Gaughran has flown over from Dublin, come and meet her in person!
