Multidisciplinary approach

Our environmental studies are part of a multidisciplinary approach, in perfect synergy with projects to improve eco-responsible processes and formulate biobased products, both in the food sector and in the plant-based chemical industry.

This integrated approach combines our environmental expertise with initiatives undertaken by other ITERG units, helping to reduce the ecological footprint of your products, while enabling you to communicate your environmental initiatives to your customers and partners.
