Kemira & IFF are expanding their strategic cooperation. The next step: first full-scale commercial biomanufacture of tailored biomaterials that provide novel high-performing alternatives to fossil-based products.<\/p>\n

This venture enables the conversion of up to 44,000 metric tons\/a of EU-produced beet sugar to bioproducts using IFF\u2019s patented Designed Enzymatic Biomaterial\u2122 (DEB\u2122) platform technology integrated at the IFF biorefinery in Kotka, Finland.<\/p>\n

The DEB\u2122 technology leverages biotechnology to design polysaccharides through the enzymatic polymerization of simple plant sugars with high purity, conversion, consistency and selectivity., advancing product performance across key applications while allowing manufacturers to replace traditional fossil-based synthetic polymers with a more sustainable alternative.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n \n\t\t\t\t
