Industrial biotechnology as an enabler of circular and sustainable bioeconomy

Industrial biotechnology enables a more competitive, sustainable, and circular bioeconomy that provides solutions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Industrial biotechnology is used in many segments of the bioeconomy, from chemicals to biofuels, biofertilizers, bioplastics and other biomaterials. By using the power of microbes, industrial biotechnology enables the development of bio-based products from a variety of raw materials, such as waste materials from forestry, agriculture and food industries. This helps reduce CO2 emissions, provides sustainable alternatives to fossil-based products, improves the resource efficiency of industrial processes, and delivers solutions to improve health and nutrition. However, the use of novel bio-based solutions instead of fossil-based solutions is influenced by the regional distribution of raw materials, in terms of quantity, price, type and amount of raw materials needed, but also in terms of market conditions, societal contributions, etc. This work presents fungal-based solutions for cascade utilization of agro-industrial feedstocks in lignocellulose-based biorefinery.
