Problem
The process of identifying and qualifying green ingredient alternatives in chemical formulation is often slow and iterative, requiring multiple cycles of ordering, waiting, testing, and reformulation. This lengthy process hinders the ability of consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers to rapidly enhance product sustainability and supply chain resilience.
Solution
InFLOWS AI offers a chemistry-aware engine powered by machine learning to accelerate the discovery and qualification of sustainable ingredient replacements. The platform enables users to pinpoint high-potential green alternatives, reducing the formulation discovery process from multiple cycles to a single iteration. By leveraging a pre-trained AI engine, InFLOWS AI provides computer-aided assistance with chemical selection and design guidance, without requiring users to input proprietary data for training. The system relies on the 12 principles of green chemistry, using scientific papers, safety information, and supply chain data to recommend safe, effective, and bio-based ingredients.
Target Audience
The primary customers are responsible CPG manufacturers seeking to "greenify" their brand portfolio and green ingredient suppliers looking to accelerate market uptake of sustainable materials.
