At a meeting in Berlin on 30 May 2000, the Task Force on Biotechnology for Sustainable Industrial Development of the OECD’s Working Party on Biotechnology (WPB) was commissioned to prepare a study which has resulted in the present publication. It is the logical extension of the Task Force’s previous activities, which culminated in a major report, Biotechnology for Clean Industrial Products and Processes, which appeared in 1998.
This publication brings together a wide range of case studies in order to show how companies have implemented biotechnological processes and the means they have used to assess benefits in terms of cost and sustainability. The case studies were analysed to extract key messages, and, to make comparisons easier, they are presented in as uniform a format as possible. The report is intended for two key constituencies, senior managers in industry and government policy makers.
As industrial managers become more aware of what their colleagues have achieved, they may be encouraged to explore the possibilities of biotechnology; government policy makers may use the report as a basis for policy guidelines or for national programmes to underpin the expansion of industrial biotechnology.
This volume was prepared by Dr. Mike Griffiths (OECD consultant), whose efforts on behalf of the Task Force are greatly appreciated. He worked in close collaboration with an editorial team comprising: Dr. Anders Gram (Novozymes A/S, Denmark); Dr. Wiltrud Treffenfeldt (Dow, Germany); Dr. Ulf Lange (BMBF, Germany); Dr. Terry McIntyre (Environment Canada, Canada); Mr. Oliver Wolf (European Commission/JRC/IPTS, Spain). OECD support was provided by Dr. Salomon Wald (Head of Biotechnology Unit) and Dr. Yoshiyasu Yabusaki of the OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry.
The OECD wishes to express its thanks to all Task Force participants (see Annex 1) and, in particular, to the chair, Dr. John Jaworski (Industry Canada, Canada); and the vice-chairs, Dr. Brent Erickson (BIO, United States), Dr. Ryuichiro Kurane (Kubota Co. Ltd., Japan), Dr. Joachim Vetter (BMBF, Germany) and Mr. Oliver Wolf (European Commission/JRC/IPTS, Spain).
Thanks also go to all those who gave their assistance and time during the preparation of the individual case studies: Dr. Udo Koller (Hoffmann La-Roche, Germany); Dr. Burghard Konig (Biochemie, Germany); Prof. Alle Bruggink (DSM, Netherlands); Dr. Satoru Takamatsu (Tanabe Seiyaku, Japan); Dr. Robert Holt (Avecia, United Kingdom); Dr. Kanehiko Enomoto (Mitsubishi Rayon, Japan); Dr. Jonathan Hughes (Ciba Speciality Chemicals, United Kingdom); Dr. Falmai Binns (Baxenden, United Kingdom); Dr. David Glassner (Dow Cargill, United States); Mr. Oliver Wolf (JRC/EC/IPTS, Spain); Dr. Cees Buisman (Paques, Netherlands); Dr. Dieter Sell (Dechema, Germany); Dr. Azim Shariff (Domtar, Canada); Dr. Terry McIntyre (Environment Canada, Canada); Dr. Jun Sugiura (Oji Paper, Japan); Dr. Dave Dew (Billiton, South Africa); Mr. Jeff Passmore (Iogen, Canada); Mr. Dave Knox (M-I, United Kingdom) and Dr. Allan Twynam (BP Exploration, United Kingdom). The OECD gratefully acknowledges the financial support provided by Canada, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Commission for this work.
The report is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD and does not necessarily reflect the views of the OECD or its Member countries. In addition, it must be emphasised that the mention of industrial companies, trade names or specific commercial products or processes does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the OECD.
