CIRCULAR ECONOMY
WHITE TECHNOLOGIES
Through white technologies to sustainable processes for a circular economy strengthening the connection between economy, society & the environment.
ENZYMES
An entire branch of biotechnology, known as 'white biotechnology',is devoted to this. It uses living cells from yeast, moulds, bacteria, plants & enzymes to synthesize products that are easily degradable, require less energy & create less waste during their production.
ARTIFICIAL SELECTION
The wide concept of "biotech" or "biotechnology" encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of the plants, & "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection & hybridization.
GENETIC ENGINEERING
Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell & tissue culture technologies. The American Chemical Society defines biotechnology as the application of biological organisms, systems, or processes by various industries to learning about the science of life & the improvement of the value of materials & organisms such as pharmaceuticals, crops, & live-stock.
NATURAL SCIENCE
Per the European Federation of Biotechnology, biotechnology is the integration of natural science & organisms, cells, parts thereof, & molecular analogues for products & services. Biotechnology is based on the basic biological sciences (e.g. molecular biology, bio-chemistry, cell biology, embryology, genetics, micro-biology) & conversely provides methods to support & perform basic research in biology.
INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
Industrial biotechnology is the pioneer & innovation engine for this evolutionary transformation of the economic system & of society. It offers alternatives to established, disadvantageous processes & products, & helps tackle current problems such as the proliferation of widespread diseases caused by malnutrition or elevated CO2 levels.
SOLUTION OF THE FUTURE
As a technology of the future, it also enables completely new approaches & solutions that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. It opens up previously unknown value creation paths & produces disruptive product ideas for a modern bioeconomy. White technologies as a solution of the future, it also enables completely new approaches & solutions that seemed un-thinkable just a few years ago. It opens up previously unknown value creation paths & produces disruptive pro-duct ideas for a modern bioeconomy.
BIOTECHNOLOGIES - NATURALLY BETTER
Industrial biotechnology is the pioneer & innovation engine for this evolutionary transformation of the economic system & of society. It offers alternatives to established, disadvantageous processes & products, & helps tackle current problems such as the proliferation of widespread diseases caused by malnutrition or elevated CO2 levels.
The natural protagonists in this process are microorganisms: The identified and optimized microorganisms act on the secondary raw materials and extract precious metals with a yield of up to 100% - depending on the starting material and the type of metal.
The technology defines the strategy, the tool of biochemical extraction by enzymes. The same infrastructure allows synergistically translate the potential for sustainable and energy-saving approach into economic benefits and thus take a decisive step in the direction of full sustainability to exploit untapped potential.
Industrial biotechnology is a driver of innovation in the transition from a petroleum-based industry to a knowledge-based bioeconomy. Challenges such as global population growth, climate change & increasing resource shortages have prompted society, policymakers & the business world to reassess the existing paradigm & move towards a sustainable bioeconomy.
