As we confront the global water crisis, the urgency to address water scarcity and quality issues with clean water solutions is clear.
Biosurfactants are produced by living microorganisms while chemical surfactants are artificially synthesized through chemical processes.
Many concerns regarding the usage of chemical surfactants have created a need for natural surfactants, such as biosurfactants, which can be produced in equally large amounts and at a low cost.
A technology breakthrough is making it possible to cost-effectively reduce worldwide chemical surfactant reliance for the first time. Production methods developed by Locus Fermentation Solutions (Locus FS) are driving a global shift to the use of high-performing biosurfactants customized to directly replace surfactants in key global industries—with a 37% lower carbon footprint.
