### Stage 3: Production and brand establishment
- We plan to establish factories and start producing the cellulosome complex and its complementary hardware on a large scale to sell to local and international customers. Moreover, by designing and completing registration for trademarks recognized by market-regulation officials in the country, we would distinguish ourselves from competitors and facilitate brand advertisement.
- After our interview with Mr. Edwin Keh, the CEO of The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA), we were inspired by his clear elucidation of the idea that textile waste, particularly related to the fashion or clothing industry, is not only a scientific recycling problem to be solved but also a social issue as well. This is the ultimate reason we have determined to integrate public education and outreach into our implementation process as part of our brand establishment and publication. We have published numerous episodes of our self-filmed documentaries (see Education and Communication--Documentaries) that elucidate the influence of conspicuous consumption on the increase in production quantity of firms in the fashion industry and illustrate the detrimental impact of textile waste on the environment. We further plan to develop cooperative relationships with non-profit organizations and educational institutions to establish charity websites and education programs for the purpose of raising awareness within societies and eventually aim to solve the problem from the very source.

- The range of usage of the cellulosome multi-enzyme synergy system is not only limited to cellulose degradation but also possesses possibilities of implementation in many fields as well; the successful expression of multiple enzymes, including PETase and MHETase through the enzyme hosts, our project furthermore demonstrated its application in synthetic polymers like polyester and plastic degradation. By developing cellulosomes with new combinations of enzymes to degrade more materials, we can expand the scope of our production and the usage of our cellulosome complex.
