How
Novozymes is saving the planet by winning the war for bioinnovation talent - by
Joseph Coplans, co-publisher ifculture.com
As the world struggles to
find answers for sustainability issues, Novozymes is providing global
sustainability through bioinnovation. Let's begin with their enzymes: Novozymes
enzymes help companies reduced their energy costs and reduce dependence on
chemicals. Such enzymes are replacing surfactants; they're in detergents to
enable lower temperature washes so less energy is needed to warm water. Their
second-generation biofuel, an ethanol derived from the waste paper and
cardboard supplied by the US Government, is fueling cars in Washington DC, and
shrimp farmers are using microbes from Novozymes to produce higher yields free
of antibiotics, a boon to the food supply. Add up the Novozymes
bio-pharmaceutical, bio-organism and bio-agriculture offerings, and you'll get
a 28 million ton reduction in C02 throughout the world. It's bioinnovation
designed to help the businesses not deplete the resources they need to stay in
business, a breakthrough company positioned to impact the industrial life of the
world as we know it...
