Formulations we use in our daily lives for our home and personal care are mainly based on fatty alcohol ethoxylates and sulphate-based surfactants. These play a fundamental role, making up over 40% of the ingredients in our products like hard surface cleaners, detergents, shampoos, and body washes.
SurfToGreen project will innovate the home and personal care industry, making the eco-friendly choices the new standard. The new green and sustainable surfactants will represent a fundamental ingredient for a wide range of applications spanning from detergency, cosmetics and active-release capsules.
Our new bio-based surfactants will meet three key criteria:
- High surface properties performances: as foam generation during the application, foam destabilization during the rinsing stage viscosity control and cleansing ability.
- Environmental performance: the formulations will minimize the environmental impact while maximizing effectiveness.
- Economic performance:the new sustainable products will be affordable, ensuring that consumers will not have to compromise on quality or price.
