"EDT – Enzymatic Deinking Technologies, LLC – produces enzyme-based products that help pulp and paper mills reduce costs while increasing the quality and quantity of the pulp and paper they produce. With extensive experience in the pulp processing industry, EDT knows how to integrate these improvements quickly and seamlessly, for a rapid improvement in economics without disruption of normal plant activities. EDT’s early roots came from work conducted in the 1970’s and 1980’s by Dr. Karl-Erik Eriksson in Sweden on the basic mechanisms of wood and cellulosic degradation. It had been common knowledge that leaves and fallen trees decomposed by action of fungal and microbial organisms. However, the specific mechanisms by which this occurred were not well understood. Dr. Eriksson drove a leading effort to decipher the enzymatic mechanisms by which these microorganisms derived energy from cellulosic decay. This pioneering work earned Dr. Eriksson the Marcus Wallenburg Award, the leading annual research award in the industry, in 1985. Eriksson’s true goal, however, was to advance beyond simply understanding these enzymatic mechanisms and to explore their use to partially or fully obviate traditional chemistries and energy used in pulp and paper processing. Though the key enzymatic raw materials were not yet available in industrial quantities, this early work helped lead to their eventual creation. "
