Problem
The majority of cleaning products rely on fossil-fuel-based surfactants, contributing significantly to CO2 emissions. Existing bio-based alternatives often struggle with performance parity and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional options, limiting their market adoption.
Solution
Bioataraxis develops sustainable, bio-based surfactants derived from converted bio-waste and chemical feedstock. Our proprietary chemical process utilizes readily available inputs to produce surfactants that demonstrate performance comparable to traditional oil-based detergents and superior results to current bio-based alternatives. This approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution for the cleaning products industry, aiming to bridge the performance and cost gap in the green detergent market. We are focused on scaling this technology for licensing to chemical producers.
Target Audience
Our primary customers are chemical producers and formulators within the cleaning products industry seeking to incorporate sustainable, high-performance surfactants into their product lines.
