New Book! Sustainable Biotechnology and Environmental Protection

 
 
BioResources and Technology Division (BRT) senior researcher Dr. Yelizaveta Chernysh, post doctoral researcher and head of BRT lab  Dr. Viktoriia Chubur and BRT Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík recently published a book as part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology (GREEN).
 
This book lays out a comprehensive four-pronged strategy for addressing environmental issues through biotechnology. It focuses on:
  • Minimizing waste at its source,
  • Reducing toxicity to safeguard ecosystems and human health,
  • Improving waste disposal methods to make them cleaner and more efficient, and
  • Transforming waste into valuable resources, driving circular economy models.
A major highlight of the book is its emphasis on sustainable bioeconomy approaches. By illustrating how biotechnological innovations can be leveraged in urban development and environmental protection, the authors make a compelling case for integrating biotech solutions into everyday infrastructure and planning.
Importantly, the book does not stop at scientific solutions alone. It also explores the crucial role of policies and regulations in enabling (or hindering) these innovations, painting a holistic picture of what it takes to build a safer, more resilient future.
For researchers, policymakers, and sustainability enthusiasts alike, this book serves as both a roadmap and an inspiration. It underscores how biotechnology, when coupled with thoughtful governance and strategic implementation, can unlock new pathways toward a truly sustainable world.
