EU Research Project "Nano3Bio" is Starting – "Huge Potential" through Biotechnology - Heppe Medical Chitosan is part of the international consortium
While the oil is slowly but surely running out, renewable resources are becoming increasingly important. In future, the biological production of raw materials has to play an even greater role to meet the needs in an environmentally friendly manner. An international consortium of researchers and companies, including your organisation, now rises to this challenge. Its goal is the biotechnological production of so-called chitosans, which are used as raw materials for medicine, agriculture, water treatment, cosmetics, paper and textile industries as well as many other fields of application. To tap this potential, the European Commission supports the research project "Nano3Bio" with a total of almost 9 million Euros up to 2017.
