Cambridge, MA and Hanover, MA, Aug 13, 2020 -- Brookline Transportation, Inc. (BTI), a Mayflower Van Lines agent specializing in commercial, lab, medical, science and residential moving, recently became a member of the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council. BTI joins a rather prominent list of more than 1300 members from Massachusetts companies mostly in the life science and healthcare fields.

“Over the years, we’ve done a considerable number of lab moves for life science companies all over the country. With a significant number of those types of companies near our home office in Hanover, it just made too much sense to join the Mass Biotech Council,” said George Rohlfing, owner of the family-owned and operated Brookline Transportation, Inc (BTI). “We look forward to taking advantage of the many networking and professional development opportunities that come with a Mass Biotech membership.”

According to the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council website, “Mass Bio is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1985 that represents and provides services and support for the #1 life sciences cluster in the world. Mass Bio’s mission is to advance Massachusetts’ leadership in the life sciences to grow the industry, add value to the healthcare system, and improve patient lives.”

Mass Biotech’s membership consists of 1300-plus members dedicated to preventing, treating, and curing diseases through transformative science and technology that brings value and hope to patients. Among that membership are companies like BTI that serve those companies.

BTI offers enhanced packing, storing and transport services available for laboratory moves originating in the continental United States. Those services cover the intricacies of moves for medical, industrial and educational labs. That includes customized containers to match the size and delicacy of a particular piece of equipment. The customization can also take into consideration the temperature requirements of the equipment being shipped.

In addition to the planning and actual move, BTI lab relocation services include coordination with facilities and IT staff at both origin and destination to ensure a smooth transition for the lab to reopen ASAP at the new location. Additionally, BTI’s lab relocation division can offer storage options on both ends of a move should the facility need time to assimilate the new lab into the building.

The report “Industrial Enzymes Market by Type (Carbohydrases, Proteases, Lipases, Polymerases & Nucleases, Other Types), Source, Application (Food & Beverages, Feed, Bioethanol, Detergents, Pulp & Paper, Textiles & Leather, Wastewater Treatment, Other Applications), Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2026" According to MarketsandMarkets, the industrial enzymes market is estimated to be valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 8.7 billion by 2026, recording a CAGR of 6.5%, in terms of value. The growing environmental concerns and enzyme quality in food & beverages and feed, and the rising demand for bioethanol are factors that are projected to drive the growth of the industrial enzymes market globally.

The microorganism segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Based on source, the industrial enzymes market is segmented into microorganism, plant, and animal. The microorganism segment is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, as enzymes obtained from microbial sources lead to low production costs. Furthermore, they contain more predictable and controllable enzyme content. In addition, as enzymes obtained from microbial sources can be cultured in large quantities in a short period, microorganisms are the primary source of industrial enzymes.

The carbohydrases segment is projected to account for a major share in the industrial enzymes market during the forecast period

By type, the industrial enzymes market is segmented into carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, polymerases & nucleases, and other enzymes (such as catalases, laccases, oxidases, phosphatases, kinases, esterases, and pectinases). Carbohydrases are classified into amylases, cellulases, and other carbohydrases (such as pectinases, lactases, mannanases, and pullulanases). Amylases used in the textile industry benefit denim manufacturers in de-sizing and lowering the operational costs. In the paper industry, amylases help in de-inking and drainage improvement. However, the textile industry functionally benefits in the replacement of pumice stones by a cellulose-based treatment; benefits include less damage to fibers, increased productivity of the machines, and less hazardous environment for manufacturers.

Speak to Analyst: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/speaktoanalystNew.asp?id=237327836

The North American region dominated the industrial enzymes market with the largest share in 2019, whereas Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate.

The industrial enzymes market in North America was dominant due to the increasing demand for enzymes in industrial applications. Technological innovations in machinery, optimization of production, logistics, and globalization of business have made the food & beverage industry one of the essential sectors in North America. However, the shift of industrial operations from developed regions, such as North America and Europe, to Asia Pacific, has further contributed to the growth of the industrial enzymes market in the Asia Pacific region. The use of industrial enzymes in textiles & leather and detergents has been fueling the market in the Asia Pacific region. Furthermore, European consumers have shown an inclination toward clean-label and organic products. This has enabled manufacturers to consider organic ingredients as major components of the products. Due to this, the industrial enzymes market in the European region is led by the growing focus on the production of food & beverages, owing to the functional benefits of enzymes.

The US state of Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has added perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and its salts to a list of priority chemicals (PCs) that require reporting in specific children’s products.

In addition to PFOS, the salts covered in the new Chapter 890 are:

• Potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate
• Lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate
• Ammonium perfluorooctane sulfonate
• Diethanolammonium perfluorooctane sulfonate

Maine enacted the ‘Toxic Chemicals in Children’s Products’ law in 2008. It requires manufacturers and/or distributors of children’s products to disclose specific information if a PC is added to a product and exceeds the de minimis level. This requirement does not apply to, among other things, inaccessible components. The list of PCs is evaluated and updated periodically.

‘Children’s product’ is defined as a consumer product that is intended for, made for, or marketed for use by a child under 12 years of age. It also includes any consumer product that contains a chemical of high concern (CHC) that when used or disposed of will likely result in a child under 12 years of age or a fetus being exposed to that chemical.   

Chapter 890 is just the latest rule chapter to be issued. Products included under its scope include:

• Childcare articles
• Clothing, footwear, sleepwear
• Cookware, tableware, reusable food, and beverage containers
• Cosmetics and personal care products
• Craft supplies
• Electronic devices
• Household furniture and furnishings
• Toys

Exemptions include:

• Used products
• Containers or packaging for food or beverage products, unless they are marketed or intended for use by children under three years of age
• Motor vehicles or watercrafts, except detachable car seats

The new rule came into effect on July 28, 2020 and the deadline for reporting is January 24, 2021 (180 days from the effective date). Manufacturers or distributors of products under the scope of the chapter, but which are not offered for sale until after January 24, 2021, are obliged to report to the DEP within 30 days.

 Since 2011, other rule chapters that have been issued include:

• Chapter 882: Bisphenol A (BPA)
• Chapter 883: Nonylphenols and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPs and NPEOs)
• Chapter 884: Cadmium
• Chapter 885: Formaldehyde
• Chapter 886: Mercury
• Chapter 887: Arsenic
• Chapter 888: Benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
• Chapter 889: Decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD/HBCDD)
