UK Scientists Work To Develop Environment-Friendly Chemicals For Perfume Industry

A group of scientists from the University of Manchester is working to develop environment-friendly chemicals for use in the perfume and fragrance industry in Europe. With a budget of £8.5 million, and in partnership with DSM Chemical Technology R&D BV, the project will be part of the Horizon 2020 EU initiative, ROBOX, aimed at creating sustainable chemicals for the perfume and food industries. Under the project’s guidelines, the scientists will develop alternatives to chemical oxidations, which are harmful to the environment.
