How to develop enzymatic technologies for degradation
Bizente’s main goal is to develop enzymatic solutions for the end-of-life treatment of complex composite materials. EvoEnzyme is the partner in charge of the engineering of novel enzymes (ligninolytic and hydrolytic) by directed evolution to [...]
ARAID researchers learn about the power of enzymes in the industry of the future thanks to BIZENTE
During the month of October 2022, BIZENTE held a scientific workshop with the Aragonese Foundation for Research and Development (ARAID). The main objective of the event was to present the BIZENTE project to a [...]
Chemical modifications to resins in order to ease the targeted biodegradation process
Unlike thermoplastic for which effective recycling options do exist, thermoset composites cannot be melted because they contain, in their structure, crosslinked polymer networks based on irreversible chemical bonds. Therefore, currently most of the thermoset [...]
The BIZENTE worm at the European Researchers’ Night 2022
The University of Cadiz and the BIZENTE project are taking part in the European Researchers' Night 2022, which was held in Cadiz on 30 September. This scientific dissemination event, which takes place in the [...]
ACCIONA studies the validation of modified resins and byproducts within Bizente project
ACCIONA CONSTTUCTION, partner in Bizente project, is a Spanish construction company present in over 30 countries through its different divisions and with a turnover of over 3 billion euros and around 11,300 employees. ACCIONA [...]
The potential of lignolytic enzymes for oxidative polymer degradation.
At Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) we coordinate the work on the scientific basics of the envisioned enzymatic polymer degradation. Inspired by nature’s solutions to degrade recalcitrant lignin, the research group investigates so-called peroxygenases [...]
Bizente Technology, transferred to stakeholders at ESOF 2022
The Bizente project consortium is having quite a busy summer, participating in various international conferences and workshops. In July, for example, the strategic lines of Bizente were presented by Evoenzyme at the workshop "A [...]
