“The BiMaChem project (Biomass & Chemistry) suggests a solution for the treatment and enhancement of waste materials from key sectors of local economies. One of the most promising applications is the use of vegetal biomasses for the production of solvents, additives, resins and intermediates for pigments to be used in the field of printing inks (offset, coldset, flexography, digital) in order to drastically reduce the contamination caused by mineral oils in inks for food packaging and, consequently, the environmental impact of packaging”
