Discover the opportunities for plant co-products in Wallonia at the Gembloux event on September 19. Explore the results of the ExtraHempWal and ExtraForWal projects and their prospects. Registration is free but mandatory.
Plant by-products are a promising raw material. This biomass, whether already available or just emerging, can be a source of molecules for various application sectors, provided it is properly extracted. What resources are available in Wallonia? What are the opportunities and constraints for the sector? What are the prospects?
Discover the results of the Walloon ExtraHempWal (flowering tops of textile hemp) and ExtraForWal (bark) projects, and their prospects, on Tuesday September 19 at Gembloux. The extraction of plant molecules is on the move in Wallonia!
Free event, registration required.
