GREENofea is a formulation of laccase immobilized onto
non-toxic nanomaterial, which remains very active in
harsh environments. It is suitable for applications where
easy recycling of the enzyme is required.

Cocktail of immobilized enzymes
GREENofea can be formulated with a variety of lac-
cases to cover an even broader spectrum of condi-
tions.
Adaptability
GREENofea can be easily embedded in many dif-
ferent industrial solutions, as they can be bound to
many devices such as membranes, microplates,
filters, cartridges, reactors, etc.
