Amazingly, plastic pollution in the sea and the rest of nature seems to be activating microbial evolution. Preliminary studies In the EU Crowth program in 2001, we found environmentally friendly enzyme methods to improve the dyeability and properties of synthetic textiles. https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/G5RD-CT-2001-00560/pl  Trametes hirsuta laccase and laccase mediators such as violetic acid and tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) […]

Viscose Approximately 7 million tons / 7% (7%) of the world’s textile fiber production is viscose fibers made from wood cellulose. The proportion is expected to increase sharply due to the usability and environmental values of cellulose. The total production of fibers has been estimated to reach at least 150 million t / a by […]

Yhteinen julistus biotalouden toteuttamiseksi Maailman biotalousfoorumi (WCBEF) seuraa ilmastonmuutoksen torjunnassa tärkeää kestävän kehityksen toteutumista, jossa avainasemassa on kiertotalous ja siihen kytkeytyvä biotalous. Viime aikoina on tapahtunut konkreettista edistystä ja läpimurtoinnovaatioita erityisesti kemian- ja muoviteollisuudessa. Haasteellista on viestittää biotalouden välttämättömyydestä Etelä-Amerikassa, Indonesiassa, Australiassa ja Uudessa-Seelannissa paremman ymmärryksen saamiseksi yhteisen strategian suunnittelussa. Suuria globaaleja takaiskuja ovat olleet […]
