Danimer Scientific Takes Action to Strengthen Capital Structure
I’ve never really been convinced by the Danimer Scientific story. I tried to reach out to them in the past but it wasn’t really transparent. Let’s not forget that they had a class action lawsuit against them in the US. The CEO is too secretive too. I wouldn’t buy their shares

Spanish CBE JU Biorefinery does not respect Free market rules
CBE JU disrupts the free market by financing the construction of a Spanish bio-refinery with tax payer money.

Lobbying campaign to defiscalize bioplastics in India
I cannot agree with the defiscalization of bioplastics because (1) bioplastics are plastics made by petrochemical companies who make billions in profits; (2) bioplastics companies are greedy – they keep all the cash for themselves; (3) they have corrupted the EU commission and are swindling millions through the CBE-JU straw man
