GREEN BIOTECH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
everyday biotech products.
Biodegradable plastic•Plastics manufactured by traditional methods come from non-renewable hydrocarbon resources. •They consist of long polymer molecules that are tightly bound to one another and cannot be broken down easily by decomposing microorganisms. •Biodegradable plastics can be made using plant polymers.
Green Walls
Detergents
It is essential to determine whether biotechnology–based processes are cleaner than traditional ones …
Bio ethanol
Bioethanol can be produced from starchy plant materials using enzymes capable of efficiently making the conversion.
Textiles and Leather
Enzymes are now widely used to prepare the fabrics that your clothing, furniture and other household items are made of.
Producing new fibers through biotechnology
Foods and Beverages
Enzymes can also be used to make the process cheaper and more predictable, so a quality product is ensured with every batch brewed.
