Brief Description of the Project:
SurftoGreen develops novel platforms of high-performing, safe and sustainable, bio-based surfactants readily biodegradable, to provide sustainable alternatives to conventional petroleum-based products for key applications.
By using renewable biomass-derived building blocks sourced from EU agricultural and forest side streams, we are creating surfactants with over 95% bio-based content (covering nonionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surfactant families), overcoming the current performance and production throughput constraints, while contributing to foster the market uptake of bio-based, circular solutions.
The project validates the effectiveness, sustainability and safety of its bio-based formulations in industrial demonstrators for home and personal care, textile enhancement, and agriculture.
Funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE) >, the project spans 60 months (Oct. 2024 – Sep. 2029) with an allocation of about €9 million, and brings together 16 partners and 3 associated partners from 11 countries.
