Descripción del proyecto
Tecnologías innovadoras para obtener enzimas para productos de consumo
La preponderancia cada vez mayor de una producción respetuosa con el medio ambiente repercute en la industria de los productos de consumo. En el proyecto FuturEnzyme, financiado con fondos europeos, se desarrollarán tecnologías innovadoras avanzadas para descubrir, diseñar, optimizar y formular enzimas de bajo coste que permitan obtener productos con viabilidad económica en los sectores textil, de detergentes y cosmético. Se centrarán en un producto textil que contiene elastano, un detergente líquido y un producto cosmético a base de ácido hialurónico. El proyecto pondrá en circulación una plataforma de desarrollo de enzimas de alta tecnología que utiliza la extracción de biodatos de bases de datos y biorrecursos tanto públicos como internos, un aprendizaje automático revolucionario, bioprospección basada en actividades, ingeniería de proteínas, nanobiotecnología, fermentación a gran escala y sistemas de procesamiento descendentes. FuturEnzyme potenciará la colaboración entre socios del mundo universitario y la industria a través de agrupaciones que contribuyan a la capacidad de innovación y el desarrollo económico con una menor impacto ambiental de la industria de los productos de consumo.
Objetivo
In FuturEnzyme, a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor consortium of 16 leading academic and industrial partners will develop technologies of the FUTURe for low-cost ENZYMEs for environment-friendly products. The consortium will develop the most advanced innovative solutions in a fast-track to market platform to discover, design, optimise and formulate enzymes. The high-tech enzyme development platform will use big biodata mining of both public and internal databases and bio-resources, and disruptive machine learning, activity-based bioprospecting, protein engineering, nano-biotechnology, upscale fermentation, and downstream processing systems. The enzymes developed will be used to develop economically viable products on 3 market segments, textiles, detergents, and cosmetics, which combine a higher level of functionality with greater sustainability during their production, use or end-of-life: they respond to consumer and industry requests for greener products. We will also bring to fruition the enormous potential of the developed enzymes for use as catalysts to faster yield greener, more valuable, and sustainable products in other market sectors. The strong collaboration of the academic and industry partners will be supported by clusters, thus making sure we take a holistic approach. Analysing technology, market, consumer, and socio-economic demands, and assessing safety, risk, and life-cycle analysis during the technology and product development in an iterative process, will ensure the results will be effective and relevant. They also contribute to the goals of ensuring innovation capacity and economic success, while reducing the environmental impacts of consumer products. The consortium will interact with a broad stakeholder network to ensure uptake of its developments and feedback insights towards policy-makers.
