Two very important problems the world is facing currently are water use and its scarcity. While citizens
of highly developed countries show excessive water usage patterns, inhabitants of countries that have
poor economic conditions do not have access to sufficient level of clean water. As a team, we are
concerned about the water scarcity in the world and deeply disturbed by the large amounts of water usage
required to recycle or decompose cellulose-based materials. With a view to providing a solution to this
great problem, we came up with the idea to use enzymes in treating paper wastes by enhancing the
productivity of the cellulase.

To conclude, as a team that prioritizes environmental issues, we have created a project that is devoted to Target 6.4 of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
