    Abstract

    Ever since the industrial revolution, there had been mass manufacturing of products through assembly lines and technologies. Paper, being a commonly used household and working item, had its production boost throughout the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. Meanwhile, as the production rate increased, people soon realized how their actions had damaged the environment.

    Abstract

    The depletion of forests and lumber had pushed technology in the direction of recycled paper. However, the technical advances had not reached a level where the recycled paper process is “environmentally friendly” and the quality of the paper is as good as first-hand paper. We are dedicated to solving this problem using synthetic engineering knowledge as an iGEM team. We explored the possible effects of additives sericin and chitosan on recycled paper’s strength and elasticity. After finding an improvement in paper quality. Through Escherichia coli, we were able to produce these two substances by genetic modification. Further experiment and modeling formulated a preeminent result with high quality and spotless paper. At the same time, we developed partnerships and collaboration with the iGEM team of UESTC(University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) via face and face and online meetings. We were able to learn from and help each other to reach our common destination. We also educated the new generation with what we know through seminars and online conferences.
