Publication April/May 2010 - Vegetal-based chemistry: it's truly on the move! Nothing now can put a stop to the vegetal-based chemistry field which is growing in strength brick by brick in France. The agro-resources specialists are already on the bandwagon and the chemical industry is following in their wake. All banded together within the Vegetal-Based Chemistry Association chaired by Roquette's Christophe Rupp-Dahlem. > See more
