Green Synthesis
Green synthesis is of great significance in promoting sustainable development, protecting the environment, and improving human life. By adopting environmentally friendly, low energy consumption, and renewable production methods, it reduces reliance on fossil fuels and hazardous chemicals, thereby minimizing pollution and carbon emissions and advancing green, sustainable development. Green synthesis helps produce safe and healthy drugs, provides new materials and energy sources, and meets the growing needs of humanity.
Synthetic biology is a key technology for green synthesis. Through modern techniques such as protein design, genetic engineering, metabolic pathway optimization, and cell engineering, it designs and constructs efficient and environmentally friendly biocatalysts or engineered cell factories. Biocreatech deploys advanced protein design technology to develop high-performance protein molecular machines in extreme environments, addressing green synthesis challenges in various highly demanding and special industrial scenarios.
Biocreatech's green synthesis technology covers multiple fields including bio-based cosmetic raw materials, bio-based bulk chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). We believe that through biotechnological innovation, Biocreatech will continuously develop high-performance green synthesis technologies, contributing to sustainable development and the protection of the global environment.
The existing synthesis of ingredients for household & personal care products lies on chemical methods, with pain points such as high energy consumption, numerous by-products, and heavy environmental burden. Green synthesis has demonstrated significant potential in the production of bio-based chemical materials. Through strategies like enzymatic catalysis, microbial fermentation, and green chemical engineering, it significantly reduces reliance on fossil resources. In recent years, fatty acid esterification reactions based on enzyme engineering and microbial fermentation technologies have successfully promoted the large-scale application of bio-based ingredients in household & personal care products.
Biocreatech utilizes an intelligent protein design platform and high-throughput directed-evolution technology to develop high-performance biocatalysts, enabling the green synthesis of bio-based surfactants and other chemical ingredients. These bio-based materials empower daily chemical products such as shampoos and skincare items, achieving gentle cleansing and high-efficiency nourishment while leading the new trend of green personal care products.
Commodity chemicals play a key role in modern industry, covering core fields such as plastics, solvents, dyes, and additives. In the plastic industry, basic raw materials like ethylene and propylene underpin the infrastructure of packaging, building materials, and automobile manufacturing. The traditional production of commodity chemicals relies on petrochemical-based raw materials and adopts high-temperature and high-pressure conditions in the production process, facing challenges such as high energy consumption, heavy pollution, and low raw material utilization rate.
Biocreatech focuses on the conversion and utilization of non-food & bio-based raw materials (such as coconut oil and bagasse), establishes high-efficiency biocatalytic systems, promotes the large-scale green production of bulk chemicals including polymer monomers and organic acids, and accelerates the low-carbon and green transformation of the chemical industry.
Enzyme catalysis offers significant advantages for green synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including high efficiency and selectivity, mild reaction conditions, sustainability, and pollution-free characteristics. Among these, the one-step synthesis of high-purity chiral molecules is its unique advantage over chemical methods. In recent years, rapid development of highly efficient enzymes has promoted the widespread application of green synthesis in pharmaceutical intermediates.
Biocreatech utilizes protein molecular machines and modular synthetic biology technologies to customize industrial enzymes with an excellent stability and a high selectivity for various industrial scenarios, to efficiently produce key pharmaceutical intermediates such as antibiotic intermediates and nucleotides, underpinning high-performance and low-cost production of drugs.
