This pilot program, developed in partnership with the University of Nottingham, aims to reduce emissions and decrease dependence on petrochemical-derived ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists are utilizing an enhanced Soxhlet extraction method, combined with ultrasonication, to efficiently extract essential oils from surplus plants like petunias, roses, and marigolds. This method, which involves using sound waves to break down cell walls, speeds up the extraction process by 40%, taking just 20 minutes to obtain the desired compounds. The Bridge Farm Group in Lincolnshire, which supplies 90 million plants annually to UK retailers, collaborates with Unilever to provide flowers that would otherwise go unsold. These plants are stored in a 60-acre greenhouse, extending their lifespan long enough for scientists to transform them into high-value raw ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond essential oils, Unilever is exploring the extraction of other high-value ingredients, such as terpenes, lactones, ethers, and complex sugars. These ingredients could be used in textile care products and for malodour neutralization in personal care items, further enhancing the sustainability of their product lines. By leveraging innovative extraction techniques and partnerships, Unilever\u2019s initiative not only offers a sustainable solution to plant waste but also sets a precedent for the industry to follow, highlighting the company\u2019s commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/esgnews.com\/unilever-pioneers-sustainable-fragrances-from-waste-plants\/\">ESG News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-584\/\">Unilever Pioneers Sustainable Fragrances from Waste Plants<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,15951,2537,15519],"class_list":["post-133429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fragrance","tag-unilever","tag-waste-plant"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133429\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
