First tier proportions representative of global material flows (IRENA, 2020). Example products in second tier are purely descriptive and non-exhaustive.

400 million tonnes of 10-million-year-dead materials make their way into the walls of our houses, the clothes on our back, and the technology at our fingertips. The environmental implications are devastating. It’s time to leave the dinosaurs behind. #MaterialsThatMatter

Demand for ‘things’ is skyrocketing globally, and the use of oil as a feedstock is set to see the sector’s consumption double from 2000 levels. We urgently need high-performing, widely-available materials that are liberated from dependancy on fossil fuels. #MaterialsThatMatter.

Next-gen fermentation will run on C1 feedstocks produced with renewable energy, triggering the beginning of a circular carbon economy. Check out this review for a biochemical perspective from @car_cotton and collaborators. #MaterialsThatMatter https://t.co/MqxhIAApZE

New collaboration with @cambrium_bio, a Berlin-based synthetic biology startup, triggering the next wave of biomaterial innovation using iMEAN's advanced mathematical models💻🧬🧱 #biotech #biomaterials #biomodeling https://t.co/H9gzgK2sCR

Despite a chart-topping year for European investments, materials, which account for over 20% of GHG emissions, were allocated less than 1% of VC funding. In 2022 we look forward to mission driven VCs bringing the USDs in line with the GHGs. #MaterialsThatMatter

These proteins are identical in sequence save for one single amino acid. By changing amino acid sequence we can create proteins with different structures and functionalities, designing molecules for their end application. Proteins are programmable polymers #MaterialsThatMatter

Machine Learning is transforming the synthetic biology stack, from designing proteins to engineering the cells that make them. In their REKINDLE framework @realLCSB (ft. @psalvy_) use GANs to explore the kinetics of cellular metabolism. #MaterialsThatMatter

The chemicals industry, consumer of 10% of global fossil fuels, remains off target to meet net zero by 2050. Our daily lives are the dumping ground for the chemistry of the dead. We need materials independent of these legacy sources. #MaterialsThatMatter https://t.co/pJraL59RHu

The promise of proteins extends far beyond synthetic meats or nutritional additives. Through different configurations of the amino acids within a protein, nature has created surfactants, hard surfaces, gels, foams, coatings and adhesives. #MaterialsThatMatter

Why now? In their brilliantly concise review, @FankangMeng and @ProfTomEllis explain why the 2010’s were a turning point for synbio The foundation laid allows us to design proteins and encode their production in optimised organisms #MaterialsThatMatter https://t.co/Sc8ufEN8oB

“We believe that we should be working with nature, not against it. Biology is the most advanced technology on earth.” — @cambrium_bio

Through evolution, nature solves problems at geological time scales. However, in the race to save the planet we need solutions now. Discover our purpose here at Cambrium in our latest blog post. #materials #sustainability #biotech https://t.co/R1o0rBZgzo

In order to combat climate change, we need to fundamentally reimagine the material world around us. Get a glimpse of how the future will look like in the Material Innovation Initiative’s report: https://t.co/nYBlggCghJ #MaterialsThatMatter

Biology as a manufacturing technology enables us to devise solutions that are better performing, sustainable and scalable. At @cambrium_bio, we are contributing to a green economy by developing novel materials that align environmental and economic incentives. #MaterialsThatMatter

The personal care industry is turning to biotechnology to create sustainable and pure ingredients. We are at the forefront of this change with our first product, a vegan collagen for skincare. Learn more at: https://t.co/hU5Ngbkv6J #MaterialsthatMatter

We are excited to share that our Head of Computational Biology, @psalvy_, has co-authored a paper on genome-scale models of metabolism and expression (ME-model) for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in Nature Communications! #MaterialsThatMatter #Biotechnology https://t.co/a0tts0hwOG

A year ago today Cambrium embarked on a mission to create materials that matter. Together with our vibrant team of passionate people, we would like to celebrate our 1st anniversary with you and thank everyone for being a part of the journey. #MaterialsThatMatter

We are deeply convinced that biology will enable us to address the world’s most pressing problems, but success on this path will take time, money and perseverance. By working together, we can realize the shift towards a more sustainable future. Step by step. #MaterialsThatMatter

Testing protein variants in high throughput, scientists at @Stanford have created a revolutionary platform that collects protein functional data at scale. We are excited to see the emergence of new technologies that accelerate protein innovation! #MaterialsThatMatter
