These unique, renewable polymers derived from plant sugars will be available for the first time at industrial scale to supply a range of markets. This new market development biomanufacturing facility will be integrated into Chemigate Ltd&#8217;s biorefinery, a member of the Berner Group in <span class=\"xn-location\">Finland<\/span>, and will be operational in mid-2024.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder1\">\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2304198\/IFF_DEB_credit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2304198\/IFF_DEB_credit.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/a> <br \/><span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The IFF-Kemira collaboration addresses Kemira&#8217;s growing demand for alternatives to traditional fossil-based synthetic polymers across pulp, paper, and paper-based packaging markets and in industrial and municipal water treatment sectors. This follows Kemira&#8217;s advances in application development programs, particularly in strength, dewatering, and barrier applications.<\/p>\n<p>IFF&#8217;s DEB technology was launched earlier in 2023 for use in home and personal care markets. By expanding the application and commercialization of its DEB technology, IFF&#8217;s customers will now have access to the new product lines of high-performance material solutions that promote a circular bioeconomy at a sufficient scale for industrial use. This will enable IFF to commercially supply lead customers and support strategic application development programs at scale. These materials expand IFF&#8217;s AURIST\u2122 biopolymers for personal care applications, and IFF&#8217;s Nuvolve&reg; engineered polysaccharides for industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;In today&#8217;s world, innovation must go hand-in-hand with sustainability,&quot; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Christian Lenges<\/span>, IFF venture director. &quot;It is a topic of conversation at nearly every customer meeting. For years, &#8216;green&#8217; products were deemed inferior in performance to fossil-based alternatives, but this is no longer the case. We are proud to leverage our bioscience knowledge to develop the DEB technology platform, allowing us to provide the first commercial quantities for our partners and customers.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This is a major step in our growth strategy implementation and our journey to build a leading renewable materials portfolio,&quot; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Sampo Lahtinen<\/span>, SVP growth accelerator, Kemira Oyj. &quot;This cutting-edge biotechnology platform enables the production of renewable polymers, which combine high performance with significant improvements in the sustainability profile, including end-of-life properties such as recyclability and biodegradability. We are excited to scale up new alternatives to fossil-based products without compromising performance and competitiveness.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We&#8217;re pleased to support IFF and Kemira with material biomanufacturing integrated at our biorefinery at Finnamyl, with the aim of driving positive change across a range of industries,&quot; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Tom Schauman<\/span>, CEO, Chemigate. &quot;Manufacturers will now have access to commercially relevant quantities of IFF&#8217;s Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials, to improve sustainability across a series of market segments.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how the DEB technology platform is powering a new frontier in biomaterial innovation, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/bioscience.iff.com\/iff-bioscience\/our-science\/designed-enzymatic-biomaterials?utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_campaign=deb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Welcome to IFF<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At&nbsp;IFF (NYSE: IFF), an industry leader in food, beverage, health, biosciences and scent, science and creativity meet to create essential solutions for a better world \u2013 from global icons to unexpected innovations and experiences.
