Today marks the launch of the UK Alliance for Sustainable Chemicals and Materials (UK-ASCM), a collaborative initiative uniting industry leaders, academia, and innovation hubs to advance the UK’s sustainable chemicals and materials sector. The UK-ASCM aims to position the UK at the forefront of global efforts to create environmentally responsible and economically resilient supply chains, in response to the growing demand for sustainable solutions across all sectors.

The UK chemicals and materials industry plays a crucial role in supporting sectors such as healthcare, food, energy, and technology, underpinning 96% of all manufactured goods. As a critical enabler of green growth, this sector has the potential to generate over £544 billion annually by 2050, creating high-quality jobs and boosting local economies across the UK. The UK-ASCM is committed to harnessing this potential by driving innovation, promoting circular carbon feedstocks, and reshoring production to enhance domestic resilience.

“We have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the UK’s economic future, our environment, and our communities with the formation of the UK-ASCM,” said Dr Jen Vanderhoven, COO of the Biobased and Biodegradable Industries Association (BBIA). “Sustainable chemicals and materials are essential to achieving a net-zero economy and securing our industrial strength in a competitive global market.”

Supported by a diverse network of partners, the UK-ASCM is dedicated to addressing the complex challenges facing the sector, including the need for sustainable feedstocks and a circular economy. Through collaboration and shared expertise, UK-ASCM members will advance solutions that reduce dependency on fossil resources, enhance resource efficiency, and promote sustainable innovation across the industry.

“By bringing together leaders from industry and academia, the UK-ASCM will catalyze the research and development needed to accelerate the transition to sustainable materials,” said Professor Anju Massey-Brooker, Royal Society of Chemistry.

The UK-ASCM represents a broad coalition, including industry giants, cutting-edge research institutions, and innovation centers, each dedicated to reshaping the UK’s chemicals and materials industry for a sustainable future. The Alliance is committed to fostering green growth, supporting regional development, and making sustainable materials accessible to all sectors of society.

As the global economy increasingly turns towards sustainable solutions, the UK chemicals and materials sector has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the way. With strategic investments and collaborative innovation, the UK-ASCM aims to elevate the sector’s role in national and international sustainability efforts.

To achieve this step-change, the UK-ASCM urges the UK Government to:

– Devise a long-term roadmap and a stable policy environment to enable investment in research, development, commercialization, and manufacture of sustainable chemicals and materials, benefiting communities across the UK and driving green economic growth.– Work with the chemicals and materials sector to ensure the UK landscape supports this growth, from feedstocks to infrastructure and skills, to ensure the development of resilient UK supply chains.– Develop and implement policies shaping markets to enable the UK’s transition to sustainable chemicals and materials, including leveraging public procurement to create demand for sustainable chemicals and products manufactured in the UK.
