For each kilogram of food protein wasted, between 15 and 750 kg of CO2 end up in the
atmosphere. With this alarming carbon footprint, food protein waste not only contributes to …

The valorisation of keratinous wastes involves biorefining and recovering the bioresource
materials from the keratinous wastes to produce value-added keratin-based bioproducts …

Keratin is a major structural protein with high sulphur content. It is predominantly found in
chicken feathers, wool, hair, hoof, and nails. Over the years, the accumulation of keratin …

Global climate change is already affecting the environment, as glaciers are receding, ice on
