八月底，在深大iGEM代表队的项目即将完成时，队员与带队老师来访了揭阳市一家私人造纸作坊。参观期间，团队了解到，该作坊是回收废纸，将废纸进行脱墨后做成纸浆，然后生成原纸。但是这个过程需要利用很多化学物品处理，环境被污染比较严重。深大iGEM团队向该造纸厂的负责人讲述了团队的项目，该负责人认为我们的项目很有意义，并且同意提供试验的条件。


To industrialize the proceeding of decontamination, our team visited a small-sized Paper Mill which is located in Jieyang, Guangdong Providence in August. This paper mill actually specialized in Wastepaper Deinking, but they still adopted chemical process which had caused fearful heavy metal pollution in the surroundings.
However, our alkaline cellulase is able to enhance the technique and reduce the pollution, for this reason our team decided to add it into the process of deinking. The enzyme must be more meeting the request of environmental protection than chemistry.
To ensure the proceeding of industry is GREEN. Cellulase should adapt to the alkaline situation and easy to get. Our team is making every effort to reach this aim.
