About

Promote the cultivation of high-yield fiber crops (e.g., Cotton, Linseed, Banana, Silk) with sustainable farming practices. Optimize biodegradable enzyme-based extraction techniques to replace chemical-intensive fiber processing. Enhance the efficiency of enzymatic retting for faster, eco-friendly fiber separation. Reduce water and energy consumption in fiber extraction processes. Develop and optimize eco-friendly enzymatic extraction techniques for sericin, fibroin, chitin, and chitosan. Utilize waste materials (silkworm pupae, crustacean shells, fungal biomass) for high-value bioproducts. Promote industrial applications in textiles, biomedicine, agriculture, and eco-packaging. Use blockchain technology to create a transparent supply chain, ensuring authenticity, quality assurance, and traceability of bioproducts from raw materials to finished goods.
