OECD Finds that Biotechnology Contributes to Industrial Sustainability
Biotechnology has long held out the promise of providing alternative methods of industrial production that are both environmentally friendly and economically efficient, thus breaking the seemingly inevitable circle of industrial growth fuelling environmental damage. Until now, however, there was little in the way of hard evidence to support the assumption of such potential. A new OECD report, The Application of Biotechnology to Industrial Sustainability, cites actual case studies as proof that economic gains and respect for the environment can go hand in hand.
