Local consortium to create value chains from biomass

摘要

The consortium is a partnership between the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Tshwane University of Technology, the University of the Witwatersrand, and Sekolong Sa Dimelana, a rural-based bio enterprise. The consortium will investigate opportunities for the beneficiation of waste by-products from forestry, timber, pulp and paper industries such as sawdust, finding alternative and innovative uses for the waste and diverting it from landfills. This will have both economic and environmental benefits.
