Recently, the China Food and Fermentation Industry Research Institute and the China Leather Footwear Research Institute were held".Mycelium bio-based compositesAt the cooperation and exchange meeting, Yao Su, deputy general manager of China Food Institute, Ding Zhiwen, deputy general manager of China Leather Institute, and the R&D teams of both sides attended the meeting.
As an emerging development industry of the future bioeconomy, bio-based materials have the advantages of renewable, degradable and green environmental protectionIntelligent breeding of high-performance strains, precise regulation of mycelium growth promotion system, biosafety evaluation, modification and demonstration application of bio-based environmental protection materialsand other research directions to carry out collaborative innovation, create a source of original technology for vegan leather materials with strong plasticity, friendliness, fully degradable and recyclable, seize the commanding heights of global mycelium composite material technology, and strive to promote the innovation of sustainable use of biomaterials industry.
The National Industrial Microbial Culture Preservation and Management Center (CICC) of the China Food Academy has high-quality microbial culture resources with excellent performance1More than 40,000 plants, and advanced scientific research achievements have been accumulated in the breeding and industrial application of functional microorganisms in the fields of fermented food, biological materials, biological feed, biomedicine, etc. China Leather Institute is the only national comprehensive scientific research institution in the leather and footwear industry in China, adhering to the development concept of "scientific research, service, industrial integration operation", aiming at the common and cutting-edge key technologies of the industry, and its scientific research achievements have been widely used in the industry. At present, the global demand for vegan leather is growing rapidly, and it is expected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars in 2025, and the collaborative innovation of the two sides in the field of bio-based materials is of far-reaching significance to promote the self-reliance and self-improvement of China's vegan leather industry and promote the high-quality development of low-carbon and environmentally friendly biomaterials industry.
