At CBE pHYBi we will combine the concept of soil phytoremediation with the valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass in an integrated circular phytomanagement approach. When we talk about pollution, the first things we think of are our skies, the quality of the air we breathe, our seas and oceans. But there is a third element, our soils. According to the European Commission's latest report on the environment,...
