Future of White Biotechnology in China

White biotechnology (WB) industry, which is often referred to the third wave in biotechnology, is one of the most promising new approaches to pollution prevention, resource conservation, and cost reduction around the world. Eying the huge economic benefit, environmental benefit and social benefit from WB industry, China has paid great attention to WB industry development. In the last two decades, WB industry in China has developed at a rapid clip.

The first version and the second version of this report had been finished in April 2008 and by February 2009 by CCM. The third edition, with content improved and more insightful views, also has been finished in May 2011.
