Advanced BioCatalytics Receives EPA Safer Choice Approval for Eco-Friendly Co-Surfactant
Advanced BioCatalytics (ABC) has announced that Glucospike has been approved by the EPA’s Safer Choice Program. The federal program recognizes products which have met standards for human and environmental safety.
Glucospike is one of several products in ABC’s new line of Fermactants. Fermactants are ABC surfactants which are made entirely from microbiology-based surface-active agents. This technology is an alternative to using petrochemicals based on non-sustainable fossil fuels, or plant-based chemistry, which has contributed to de-forestation and has had negative impacts on biodiversity.
“At ABC we have been building surfactant-based applications, based on fermentation of microorganisms for over 20 years. We have decided to productize some of our key raw materials and make them available to formulators. We believe the industrial chemical market is finally ready for some truly sustainable chemistry. ‘Green’ chemistry is often a misused or misunderstood term. We like to say there are at least 50 shades of green and our new Fermactant series of surfactants can be considered ultra-green,” says Chris Harano, ABC’s President.
