About
Orpia Group is a French start-up specializing in recycling and valorizing agricultural waste, with a focus on cashew nut by-products. Through an innovative process, they extract oil from cashew nut shells and purify key constituents of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). These bio-based alkyl phenols serve as versatile, sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based molecules, applicable in plasticizers, cosmetics, animal nutrition, agricultural products, paints, and advanced materials. Their solutions enable circular economy practices by turning waste into reactive building blocks for polymerization and other industrial processes, promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable production pathways.
