Supporting a circular economy for the biomanufacturing industry
Ambitious research being led by scientists at Teesside University is helping to create a circular economy for biomanufacturing industries which rely on fermentation to make their products. Teesside University academics are working alongside counterparts from the University of Leeds and three industry partners to investigate how residual solids left over from the fermentation process can be turned into valuable ‘char-based materials’. The research could have far-reaching consequences for several different sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food production and biotechnology, by
