Abstract: An agricultural product as well as its manufacturing method, the product being solid, disintegrable and including at least one agricultural active ingredient and one matrix based on a plant-origin material, the matrix having a plant protein content of at least 30% by weight relative to the dry weight of the plant-origin material and a lipid content of at most 10% by weight relative to the dry weight of the plant-origin material, and being present in the product in a proportion of at least 75% by weight relative to the weight of the product, and the agricultural active ingredient being dispersed, in a homogeneous way, in the matrix, the product having a density from 1300 to 1500 kg/m3.

Abstract: A method for producing a part in the form of a solid block from a natural material in particulate form containing scleroproteins. A phase of heating the natural material, under compression at a pressure greater than or equal to 30 MPa, to a temperature greater than or equal to the denaturation temperature of the scleroproteins contained in the material. A phase of cooling the material thus obtained to a temperature less than 100° C., while maintaining the compression during at least a part of the cooling phase.

Abstract: A process for preparing a powder of a material of natural origin, which comprises a step of treating a substance containing at least 70% by weight of one or more leather wastes in particle form in a twin-screw extruder, wherein a temperature profile is applied that increases from an initial temperature of between 10 and 40° C. up to a maximum temperature of between 60 and 120° C., in the presence of water in an amount such that the weight ratio of water to said substance is between 0.20 and 6.
