Many in the aviation industry are infuriated that it was not mentioned during today’s budget.

Just over a week ago, the prime minister did include international travel in the road map out of lockdown, saying that it would resume no sooner than 17 May.

But with many predicting that it will take months, if not years, for the industry to return to profitability, airlines and airports had said that further support would be needed.

While the industry will be pleased that furlough and airport business rates relief is continuing, no further sector specific support was promised in today’s budget.

Airport group Heathrow said that the Chancellor "continues to ignore the UK’s aviation sector" and that today was a ‘missed opportunity to ensure the sector can play a key role in the country’s economic recovery'.

While British Airline Pilots Association said it was ‘absolutely dismayed’ that aviation was not included.

All eyes will now be on the government’s Global Travel Task Force to provide an idea of how the sector can reopen safely this summer.

Scientists at a west London hub for innovation say they have designed the world’s first plastic cling film which can be recycled and biodegrades in under a year.

The team at Polymateria, a pioneering start up at Imperial College’s White City campus, has created a thin flexible plastic which breaks down in 226 days.

It can be used as cling film as well as for bags to store food and packaging.

Polymateria said their new product can help reduce waste and already a fashion house, Pour les Femmes, set up by House of Cards actress Robin Wright, plans to use it to protect clothes deliveries to shops and customers.

The company’s boss, Neil Dunne, said: “For too long, it has been assumed that biodegradable material cannot also be recycled. Our technology is changing perceptions. Products containing our technology should be recycled as a matter of priority, but any items escaping the system will return to nature at the right time without causing any harm.”
