On a pound-for-pound basis, the production of bio-based propanediol consumes about 40% less energy than the production of its petroleum-based counterpart.

Non-renewable resources, such as petrochemicals, are used in processing and manufacturing ingredients for everyday consumer and industrial products. But the overuse of these finite resources is not sustainable.

In order to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, we need to find other ways to produce and manufacture the products we use every day. That’s why we’re putting science to work to convert alternative feedstocks into building block molecules.

Our innovative biotechnology enables us to manufacture Bio-PDO^™ (renewably sourced 1,3 propanediol), a building block ingredient that is being used in products to provide:

superior functionality and quality

reduced environmental footprint

a sustainable business environment

As a result of this leading-edge industrial biotechnology, we’re able to help today’s manufacturers find ways to create products that offer better performance, quality and sustainability across a wide range of end uses.
