Argentina is a world leader in organic agriculture, a production category that excludes synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and GMOs. [16] Argentina has a reported 3,061,965 hectares of certified organic production land and it is second only to Australia and is followed by United States.
Cellulosic sugars are used as renewable resources for biochemical and biofuels industries and can be used to produce intermediates by fermentative processes. The availability of industrial sugars from renewable resources, in sufficient quantities and at a favorable cost enables the products to be cost-competitive to fossil fuel based products.
The lignin is converted to lignosulfonates, which are soluble and can be separated from the cellulose fibers. For the production of cellulose, the sulfite process competes with the Kraft process which produces stronger fibers and is less environmentally costly. idealized scheme for lignin depolymerization by the Sulfite process.
Argentina is the fourth largest producer of paper, paperboard and corrugated fiberboard in Latin America. As of the 2004, the sector produced about 1.4 million tons. The production experienced an increase of 11 percent compared to 2003. However, this production only satisfied 67 percent of domestic demand.
The original production process uses carbon disulfide (CS 2), which has been found to be highly toxic to workers. [2] The newer lyocell process can be used to produce cellulose film without involving carbon disulfide. [3] "Cellophane" is a generic term in some countries, [4] while in other countries it is a registered trademark.
The production of computers, laptops, and servers grew by 160% in 2011, to nearly 3.4 million units, and covered two-thirds of local demand. [90] Argentina has also become an important manufacturer of cell phones, providing about 80% of all devices sold in the country. [91]
