Seppic and Ecovia Renewables have entered into a partnership to develop and market high performing, biobased and biodegradable polymers.
Due to growing environmental awareness and increasing focus on health and wellness, consumers are looking more and more for natural and sustainable products. Seppic and Ecovia Renewables are partnering to offer high-performance and environmental-friendly ingredients to manufacturers of beauty and healthcare products.
Ecovia Renewables, a USbased company, has developed a new platform technology to produce biobased ingredients through a proprietary fermentation process using renewable biomass. It will be combined with Seppic’s expertise in formulation and large-scale production of highvalue specialty ingredients.
The two companies have signed a joint development agreement. In addition, Seppic has taken an equity stake in Ecovia Renewables. Seppic and Ecovia Renewables will jointly develop biopolymers that the Seppic Group will market through its global commercial and service organisation that serves customers around the world, for all topical applications on an exclusive basis.
