This patent was the launching pad for Isuschem to start industrial production: it claims the green invention to convert fractions of waste vegetable oils into ingredients for many applications. The methodology produces no by-products, has simple processing, and allows recycling of the zinc-based catalyst.

A great challenge. In a world grappling with the pressing challenges of climate change and resource depletion, the Circular Bioeconomy can be called an innovative and promising model for sustainable development. It is a new economic model that integrates the principles of the circular economy with those of the Bioeconomy, and aims to make efficient […]
Important raw materials are obtained from waste pulp from the wood and paper industry. These include levulinic acid, from the processing of which we obtain fuel additives, plasticizers and cosmetic ingredients. These articles describe sustainable methods for their preparation by convenient iron(III)-based catalysts.
Green chemistry that wants to revolutionize industrial processes. Isuschem has been selected among the 10 most promising Italian startups in the Circular Bioeconomy.On May 14 in Milan , we presented our innovative project to local and European investors , aiming to get enough funds to launch our business. We are proud to have joined the […]
Even the most common raw materials can hide great potential. How many times after frying something have you emptied the pan full of oil, which is definitely too dark and opaque to be reused?Perhaps, rather casually, you poured it down the sink or a drain and let this organic matter dissipate.Well, you made a mistake.That […]
Solvents are indispensable components of chemical manufacturing. Traditional ones are derived from depleting fossil sources and are often flammable and harmful. These articles describe green solvents derived from waste cellulose, and their application in chemical reactions and modern energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors.
Frying oils as feedstock for biofuels: these articles describe sustainable methodologies for preparing biodiesel from domestic or catering frying oils. The use of inexpensive and highly available iron-based catalysts returns the biofuel in high quantities without the need for purification or sophisticated manipulation.
