Cosmetics
A real alternative to petrochemicals
Efficient
- Similar composition to petrochemicals (phenol)
- Innovative application
Competetive price
- 2-3x cheaper than other bioresources
- Optimized process
Planet
- Circular economy and low carbon footprint
- No-edible bioresource
Person
- Non-toxic to humans or the environment
Abundant resource
- Only phenol of natural origin available in large volumes (+1M ton per year)
Positive impact
far beyond bio-based melecules
Positive societal impact
Giving back control of the sector to Africa and local job creation (valuing locally xhat is produced locally)
Ecological & health impacts
Circular economy valorizing waste (by-products) into efficient bioresources with positive impact
Economic & technological impacts
Innovatice adaptation of green chemistry techniques to cashew nut by-products creating value from discarded waste.
