Natural fibers will replace many synthetic materials and bioneers throughout the Netherlands are looking for methods to separate lignin and cellulose. By using enzymes, many polluting catalytic processes can be replaced. How can cell technology be used to make new materials? Enzymes are very expensive, although they are produced by nature itself: the mycelium of mushrooms contains many active enzymes. Can we use enzymes as one of the building blocks of the future biodesigner: in this meet-up we talk about how we can use these beauties and how to avoid high costs researching them.
Listen back to the conversation Natasha Hulst (Biomimicry Institute) and Nick van Biezen had with experts Fabiola Polli (BioFashionTech) and Dasha Tsapenko (Atelier Dasha Tsapenko)
