Sustainability assessment of the thermochemical conversion of post-extraction plant residues to address climate change
January 8, 2020
| Waste
| Climate Change
The L'Oréal Group is one of the leading manufacturers of beauty products and uses different types of plant extracts for the development of its products. The process generates a large quantity of organic post-extraction waste materials. The company is interested to use these post- extraction waste materials as biochar to crop land to address the global climate change issue.
