Speaking for CRIBIQ, the best example of the projects we have funded is a biotechnology company called Bosk Bioproducts. The company is located near Quebec City. It teamed up with a paper mill in the Outaouais that had residue that could be reused, specifically its bacteria.
So a research centre, a biotechnology company and a paper mill teamed up and, today, we are just at the point of reusing industrial residue by fermentation, and on a commercial scale. We are using technological tools to develop very high-quality bio-plastics that can be used in packaging, especially food packaging. These materials are the result of cutting-edge technology.
We have funded a number of other projects especially with paper mills. The result has been the development of high-quality bioproducts for use in aviation or in other industries, like cosmetics.
