The award from the European Chemical Industry Council recognizes Evonik’s its role as a pioneer in glycolipid technology. The surfactants contribute to closing carbon loops by utilizing biogenic carbon as a raw material and ensuring the biodegradability of end products. “Winning this award is clear confirmation that our biosolutions are driving the revolution toward sustainable chemicals,” said Johann-Caspar Gammelin, President of Evonik’s Nutrition & Care division.
Evonik’s sophorolipid and rhamnolipid biosurfactants are eco-friendly glycolipids derived through fermentation using responsibly sourced and 100% renewable feedstock.
