Enzymes
Enzymes are large molecules of amino acids that have various shapes and functions. As naturally-occurring biological catalysts, they aid in everything from digestion in humans to the decay of wood and leaves and represent a logical tool for pulp and paper production.
Enzymes for Industrial Use
Industrial use of enzymes spans a variety of applications, such as stonewashing blue jeans, clarifying apple juice and improving the quality of baked goods. Industrial applications of these materials rely on natural enzymatic mechanisms, which are refocused and intensified to achieve desired results. Since pulp and paper is based on organic fibers, enzyme-based approaches are a natural solution.
Environmental Benefits
EDT's enzymatic solutions can provide significant environmental benefits. Produced by fungal or bacterial organisms, enzymes replace harsh chemicals and enable mills to meet increasingly higher workplace safety and environmental standards.
