  abstract = {{H}erein, we explore the outlines of an innovative method based on the chemical recovery of metal-rich biomass produced in phytoextraction technologies. {T}aking advantage of the adaptive capacity of some {N}ew {C}aledonian plants to hyperaccumulate {N}i2+ cations in their aerial parts, this technique is based on the direct use of metals derived from plants as "{L}ewis acid" catalysts in organic chemistry. {M}etallic cations contained in {N}ew {C}aledonian nickel hyperaccumulators are recovered through a simple cost-effective process and serve the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts used in synthetic transformations allowing access to molecules with high added-value. {T}he design of all processes is in line with the principles of green chemistry; it is adapted to the new economic constraints; it offers a new relevant outlet for metal-rich biomass; and it represents an altemative to non-renewable mineral materials.},
