The sustainable production of organic (carboxylic) acids focuses on converting renewable and agricultural by-products into valuable chemical inputs. Materials such as cow by-products, manure, whey, and other biomass residues can be processed through fermentation, anaerobic digestion, and biocatalysis to produce acids like lactic, acetic, butyric, and succinic acid. These methods reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and support circular economy practices. By transforming waste into high-value organic acids, industries can achieve greener chemical manufacturing while improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact across agriculture, food processing, and chemical sectors.
