DESCRIPTION:Industrial - or white - biotechnology is an emerging field with
 in modern biotechnology that uses enzymes and micro-organisms such as yeast
 s\, moulds and bacteria to produce goods and services across a variety of d
 ifferent industries. Industrial biotechnology achieves the goal of sustaina
 bility in industry as it uses renewable biomass resources such as starch\, 
 cellulose\, vegetable oils and agricultural waste\, to generate essential i
 ndustrial products\, including chemicals\, biodegradable plastics\, pestici
 des\, fibres and biofuels.\n\nThe potential benefits of white biotechnology
  and the biomaterials it produces are enormous. The reduction of pollution 
 and waste\, a decrease in the use of energy\, raw materials and water in in
 dustrial processes\, the creation of better quality food products\, and the
  production of new materials and biofuels from waste are just some of the c
 laims that have been made about this nascent technology. According to a rec
 ent report published by the UK Industrial Biotechnology Task Force\, indust
 rial biotechnology has the potential to play a significant role in reducing
  greenhouse gases and the use of fossil fuels and raw materials\, leading t
 o greener and more competitive industries and new added-value products. The
 se claims are echoed in a number of other recent studies and with the appli
 cations for biomaterials continually increasing\, now is the ideal time to 
 find out how they can benefit the future of your business.\n\nIntertech-Pir
 a's brand new conference\, Biomaterials in Industrial Applications\, brings
  you a comprehensive overview of industrial biotechnology\, covering everyt
 hing from biomass and enzymes to bioprocessing and biochemistry to bioplast
 ics\, biopolymers and novel applications and emerging markets for industria
 l biotechnology. This two day event is the only place to get up to speed wi
 th the science behind industrial biotechnology\, as well as the practical a
 pplications for it. Don't miss this essential opportunity to learn everythi
 ng you need to know about biomaterials and the bioprocesses behind them to 
 make the decisions that count for your company.
