Leader in White Biotech SolutionsCompetence to take you ahead
engineering for a better world
Highly functional plastic materials are a key product of innovative White Biotech manufacturing processes.
Towards a bioeconomically based production: White Biotech produces high-value products from low-value plant materials (stem and leaf cells, cellulose, …).
White Biotech – industrial production of the future
For the last three decades industrial biotechnology has seen stunning advances earlier generations could not have envisaged. But we are still only at the beginning of the White Biotech revolution, one that will change the face of production industries forever. New bioeconomical solutions for energy, chemical production, bioplastics and pharmacy are on their way in to set new standards in mass production. Just in time, as the corresponding demands for a sustainable global economy have moved into the social spotlight worldwide.
From a fossil-based towards a bioeconomically based
industry – the innovation cycle keeps accelerating.
For thousands of years, ancient societies have known
the use of complex biotechnical processes in beer,
wine, cheese and leather production, among other
applications, but without understanding these
processes. This has changed with the discovery of
enzyme functions and the fermentation process
over the last centuries, and with the breathtaking
progress in the decoding of microorganism genomes
and in controlling the genetic mechanism during
our own time. Thus, mass products that are essential
for present societies can today be produced with
important functional advantages, and with greatly
reduced amounts of heat, pressure and harmful
by-products in the production process: Cleaning
agents, biofuels, many bulk chemicals as well as
fine chemical products such as food additives and
nutritional supplements.
However, in many application areas, developments
have only just begun. New research must lay the
foundations for a truly efficient means of pro-
duction, to which biotechnology can make a decisive
contribution. More and even greater possibilities
have already been discovered and studied in tests.
Biorefineries and biomass-to-fuel processes are
just two technologies on the verge of becoming
standard tools of modern production. And thousands
of yet unexplored microbe varieties with special
properties and functional opportunities remain to be
studied, while, at the engineering frontier, entirely
new approaches to synthetic bio design are being
developed.
Comprehensive studies and analyses on the potential
of industrial biotechnology all foresee substantially
growing proportions of biotechnological methods in
chemical manufacturing, for the near future as well
as in long-term perspective.
The race is on for tomorrow’s success in industrial
production.
