Microorganisms
Industrial biotechnology uses enzymes and microorganisms to make biobased products from renewable raw materials in sectors such as chemicals, food and feed, detergents, paper and pulp, textiles, and bioenergy.
Microorganisms are key to supporting sustainable products as part of Europe's green transition. To ensure that Europe can benefit from the innovative power of microorganisms, it is vital to build an enabling framework for microorganisms in the EU.
