1. Green bio-manufacturing
Green biomanufacturing, with its comprehensive greening of raw materials, processes, and products, is reshaping our production methods. From enzymes to microorganisms, from chemical engineering to bio-based materials, every step holds limitless possibilities for high efficiency, renewable energy, and environmental friendliness. It not only solves energy and climate challenges but also provides solid support for the sustainable development of the planet. Against the backdrop of global advocacy for ESG principles and China’s “dual-carbon” strategy, the use of renewable raw materials is an inevitable trend, and synthetic biology is one of the ideal means to achieve efficient utilization of biomass energy.
Since its inception, Enzyme Products has actively fulfilled its public responsibility as a corporate citizen in addressing global challenges, integrating sustainable development into its business model and embedding ESG concepts into its strategic goals. It is committed to the implementation and large-scale production of cutting-edge synthetic biology technologies, and promotes the accelerated transformation of functional raw material manufacturing towards a “green, low-carbon, and recyclable” direction.
With synthetic biology technology at its core, the company has built a “Green Bio-manufacturing Platform” that integrates R&D and industrialization . This platform covers 10 business modules, including biocomputing and artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, enzyme engineering, strain modification and breeding, fermentation engineering, enzyme catalytic reaction engineering, protein expression and purification, separation and purification engineering, green chemistry, and quality research. The company has established a core technology system for the discovery, improvement, and application of new enzymes, guided by the efficient production and green processes of “life molecules” such as peptides, proteins, sugars, and nucleic acids, thus forming a technological advantage centered on enzymes.
Currently, the company’s R&D investment is among the highest in China, with a total of over 150 patent applications. These patents cover core technologies such as biotransformation and green chemistry, as well as key products such as S -Bosein and ergothionein, leveraging the company’s intellectual property soft power to provide strong support for technological R&D.
2. Regarding the Green Biotechnology Innovation Award
The “Green Biotechnology Innovation Award” is jointly launched by Synthetic Biology Network and CSR Global, aiming to discover and recognize outstanding enterprises and institutions in the fields of green biomanufacturing and low-carbon sustainable development. The Outstanding Innovative Enterprise Award is specifically established for companies whose R&D technologies or products have been recognized by relevant institutions both domestically and internationally, and which have demonstrated outstanding performance in continuous innovation.
3. Regarding finished enzyme products
Enzyme Products is committed to becoming a global leader in green active ingredients , employing next-generation synthetic biology technologies to focus on the green production of active ingredients such as peptides, proteins, sugars, and nucleic acids. Leveraging over 20 years of research and industry experience accumulated by its founding team, the company has established a leading multidisciplinary technology platform in China. It has now achieved mass production of dozens of green active ingredients, including Smegglutinin, Telborpeptide, S -Pros-Xylane, NAD+, Blue Copper Peptide, HMOs, and various peptides. It has cumulatively provided high-quality green active ingredients to over a thousand well-known companies in the fields of biopharmaceuticals , functional skincare, nutritional health, and pet and animal health .
After seven years of rapid development, the company has achieved a leading position among global companies of its kind in terms of R&D investment, scale, and output. It has applied for more than 150 invention patents and has won more than ten national and local titles, including National Specialized and Innovative Small Giant, National High-tech Enterprise, Shenzhen Specialized and Innovative Small and Medium Enterprise, Shenzhen Potential Unicorn Enterprise, Guangdong Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base, Shenzhen Top 30 Medical and Health Innovation Team, Zhuhai Innovation and Entrepreneurship Team, and Gansu Specialized and Innovative Small and Medium Enterprise. In 2022, it was selected as one of Shenzhen’s Top 100 High-Growth Enterprises (ranked first among unlisted biotech companies), and in 2023, it was selected as a Harvard Business Review High-Energy Innovation Team.
