OXIPRO – An Introduction

This video introduces the OXIPRO project and how it is contributing to the transition towards greener products, thereby enhancing the overall sustainability and competitiveness of the European bio-based economy strategy for a greener future.

Enzymes for a Greener Europe

This short video captures our work in the OXIPRO project—making the case for enzymes as a smarter, greener alternative for consumer products. We highlight  what’s holding them back, and what policymakers can do to strengthen their role in Europe’s green transition.

A Breakthrough in Sustainable Cotton Bleaching

 

Produced by our Early Career Researchers at the University of Barcelona, this video shows the development of an innovative biocatalytic process that enhances the sustainability of cotton bleaching,  You can read more here: 💡
