CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND ALLIED PROCESSES RESEARCH CENTRE (CEAP-RC)
Kenya has abundant organic resources such as gums, essential oils and resins from plants such as myrrh, opopanax, frankincense, aloe vera and eucalyptus trees, which can be used to make organic-based compounds for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals industries. Organic-based compounds are environmentally friendly and pose less danger to plant and animal ecosystem and have low carbon foot prints. CEAP-RC develop processes and value added-products from basic chemicals, specialty chemicals and consumer chemicals, that are responsive to sustainable production and consumption practices.
