BioMADE issued a total of nine grants to support projects that will advance Department of Defense supply chain resiliency and sustainability goals, re-shore manufacturing jobs to the United States, and enhance the domestic bioindustrial manufacturing ecosystem.
These innovative projects will produce natural rubber for a variety of military and commercial applications, convert waste into novel bioplastics, produce and evaluate healthy proteins and oils for the soldiers, and equip the next generation of the bioindustrial manufacturing workforce with the skills they need to be successful.
“These projects will help unlock the benefits of bioindustrial manufacturing for all Americans – from everyday consumers to farmers to warfighters,” said Douglas Friedman, CEO of BioMADE. “By creating new products and transforming how we domestically manufacture existing products, these projects—and the bioindustrial manufacturing industry at large—have the potential to positively impact nearly every aspect of our lives.”
