Industrial biotechnology

Industrial biotechnology uses natural biological processes, like fermentation and enzymes, to produce products such as fuels, chemicals, materials, and medicines more sustainably. It leverages microorganisms, plants, and enzymes to replace or improve traditional manufacturing methods that often rely on fossil fuels and harsh chemicals. This approach reduces environmental impact, conserves resources, and promotes greener, more efficient production. Applications include biofuels like ethanol, biodegradable plastics, and pharmaceuticals, making industrial processes cleaner and more eco-friendly while supporting economic growth.
