Project description

Recognition of the environmental and physical implications caused by the widespread use of road salts has sparked urgency amongst scientists and governments globally. Upon testing beet, corn, and grape skin deicing treatments, Errita’s innovation pinpoints the best composition of agro-based deicers after experimentally assessing their deicing abilities, environmental longevity, and social feasibility in comparison to traditional road salts.
