How to Turn Waste into Revenue

Every geography has a problem of bio-based (i.e. natural materials) waste streams: food waste, by-products of beer production, sewage sludge and so on. In Scotland, the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC) is tasked with the job of connecting business with academics to help them turn these waste streams into revenue streams. IBioIC see this as a potential GBP 900M industry.
