Industrial biotechnology uses microbes and biochemical products in industrial manufacturing processes.

Renewable raw materials and waste products can replace and, therefore, conserve petrochemical-based resources in the manufacture of goods such as chemicals, agricultural and pharmaceutical products.

The latest advances in genetic engineering, tailored cell design and synthetic biology (one of the most rapidly growing areas of science) are leading to global impact and revolutionising biomanufacture, creating new markets while protecting the environment.
