IFF Health & Biosciences: Sustainable DEB-powered laundry detergent

For too long, companies have had to choose between high performance and sustainability. IFF is proving that you don’t have to compromise with the first large-scale commercial use of its Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials™ (DEB) platform. This innovative technology uses advanced bioscience to create biomaterials from renewable plant sugars. In its first application, a new laundry detergent formulation uses DEB to improve cleaning and fabric softness while replacing non-biodegradable ingredients. This is a powerful example of how "intentional biology" can reshape entire supply chains. By leveraging nature-inspired materials, IFF is not just making a better product; it's promoting a more eco-conscious future for industries like home care, health, and beauty. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gcAVmWkr #Sustainability #Innovation #Bioscience #CPG #EcoFriendly

A recent study confirms that CH-Bioforce Oy’s sustainably produced lignins—derived from birch chips, wheat straw, and oat husks—show strong antimicrobial activity against viruses and bacteria. 🔬 🦠 With up to 99% purity achieved through the patented BIOFORSENSE® technology, these bio-based lignins open the door to sustainable alternatives for antimicrobial coatings, food packaging, and healthcare products. The study was carried out in close cooperation with SPINNOVA® and University of Jyväskylä.

IFF has announced the first large-scale commercial application of its Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials™ (DEB) platform with the launch of a new laundry detergent formulation by a major consumer packaged goods company. This innovative formulation features #DEB technology, which enhances fabric softness and cleaning performance while replacing traditional non-biodegradable ingredients with biodegradable, bio-based alternatives. Developed by IFF’s Health & Biosciences division, the #DEB platform uses cutting-edge bioscience to produce unique, structurally diverse polysaccharides inspired by natural sugar chains but manufactured with industrial-level precision and consistency.  https://lnkd.in/dttawf-2 #suppliersnews #newlaunch #newproduct #laundrycare #fabriccare #IFF #hpc #hpcusa #USA

CHIMEI Ecologue Bio-ABS has been adopted for the cap of THE GINZA HYBRID GEL OIL, a skincare product from THE GINZA, Shiseido's prestige skincare brand. Ecologue Bio-ABS is an innovative bioplastic made from biomass raw materials such as recycled edible oils, offering the same high performance and processability as petroleum-based ABS while significantly reducing the carbon footprint. CHIMEI continues to invest in the development of sustainable materials, and Ecologue Bio-ABS embodies CHIMEI's mission to provide sustainable solutions for a better future. CHIMEI will continue to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation in plastics.   CHIMEI Ecologue Bio-ABSは、資生堂のプレステージスキンケアブランド　ザ・ギンザ（THE GINZA）のスキンケア製品「THE GINZA HYBRID GEL OIL」のキャップに採用されました。 Ecologue Bio-ABSは、リサイクルされた食用油などのバイオマス原料から製造された革新的なバイオプラスチックで、石油由来のABSと同等の高性能と加工性を備えながら、カーボンフットプリントを大幅に削減します。 CHIMEIは持続可能な素材の開発に継続的に投資し、Ecologue Bio-ABSは、CHIMEIがより良い未来のための持続可能なソリューションを提供するというミッションを体現しています。 CHIMEIはプラスチックにおける持続可能なイノベーションの限界をさらに押し広げていきます。 https://lnkd.in/gYqgKXPE #AStepUpWithCHIMEI #SHISEIDO #Sustainability #Innovation

🚨 Biopolymer vs Biodegradable Polymer Are we using these terms correctly? Every week I see global discussions mixing them up. But here’s the truth 👇 ✅ Biopolymers → Derived from living organisms (starch, cellulose, proteins, DNA) – natural origin. ✅ Biodegradable Polymers → Can be natural or synthetic (PLA, PHA, PBS) designed to break down under right conditions. 💡 The catch: All biopolymers are not biodegradable, and all biodegradable polymers are not biopolymers. And this one line changes how we think about: 🌍 Sustainability goals 🏭 Material substitution in packaging & medical 📊 R&D roadmaps for cost vs performance 🤝 Business strategies with clients & regulators 👉 My question to the fraternity: In your industry – do you see Biopolymer or Biodegradable Polymer driving more disruption? Let’s learn from each other’s perspective. #Polymers #PlasticsIndustry #Sustainability #Biopolymers #Biodegradable #Innovation #GlobalPolymers #RND #Quality #BusinessDevelopment #CEO #Founders #Packaging #Medical #MaterialsScience
