Czechs eat millions of chickens every year. The tons of feathers that are left over have almost no use. They end up either in incinerators or in compost, where they take a long time to decompose. Researchers at the Institute of Chemical Processes of the Czech Academy of Sciences have therefore devised a way to make use of the unwanted raw material. They hydrolyse the feathers into a liquid that can be used as a fertiliser.
