Upcycling discarded lime waste stream
This project proposed a process to recover lime waste from the Lantic Inc Sugar Beet Factory and upcycle it into precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted through the energy-intensive traditional process of removing and refining lime. Funded through ERA’s Circular Economy Challenge and announced in 2023, the PPC from the lime
