We are happy to announce that, as part of the consortium, GECCO Biotech has been awarded the FLEXIZYME project by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking. Standing for the "Construction of a FLEXIble and adaptable enZYMatic biotechnological platform for sustainable industrial production of bio-based FAs (Fatty Amines) from side stream materials", FLEXIZYME's aim is to consider all the development steps to obtain biobased FAs from fat-rich and protein-rich feedstocks to fit real industrial needs.
