PFAS-free and biodegradable textile waterproofing, biobased and readily degradable multi-functional wax, bio-based and readily biodegradable detergent, and biodegradable and fluorocarbon-free industrial DWR products. By combining the natural fatty acids of plants with Nobel Prize-winning chemistry organocatalysis, OrganoClick has created an effective water repellency that is environmentally sustainable and high-performance.
PCA-free poly-reactive range of dyes. Saves water and energy by 50% or more and reduces CO2 emissions to 50% or less during the dyeing and washing-off process. Free of toxic chemicals. Improved productivity, reduced cost, and the highest level of light and wet fastness across the entire shade gamut and color spectrum compared to conventional dyeing. Saves time as the process takes 4 hours while the traditional process takes 7 hours.
Biobased (biopolymers & plant-based substances) binder for nonwoven and technical textiles. Binders made with biopolymers from residual streams in the food industry (such as orange peels, shrimp shells, wheat bran) instead of mainly fossil plastic polymers (EVA, acrylates) that are traditionally used in binders. 100% biodegradable, compostable, and non-toxic.
Enzymatic scouring, or BioPreparation™, for the pretreatment of cotton knits, woven yarn, and towels. Uses pectinase to remove pectin and wax from cotton fiber, producing fabrics with instant absorbency for even dyeing. Water savings up to 67%, time savings up to 50%, and energy savings up to 50% compared to traditional pre-treatment. Saves to energy and water by removing the need for separate handling and optimization of wetting agents and emulsifiers. Eliminates harsh chemicals used in traditional scouring, such as strong alkaline & bleaching chemicals.
Polyester made from a genetically modified microorganism that produces 1,3-propanediol (PDO) from cornstarch. Derived from cornstarch, making it partially plant based. Fermentation of genetically modified cornstarch replaces chemical synthesis and PDO is naturally produced (Bio-PDO). Less energy compared to petroleum-based traditional processes.

Greener soaps and detergents. Method's products are made from at least 70% natural, biodegradable, and compostable organic compounds. These organic compounds degrade in 28 days or less. When the product is composted, it breaks down to only benign compounds. Harsh chemicals are not used in the manufacturing process. The surfactants used in their products are biodegradable and derived from from plants; they include laureth-7, decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside. The colorants in their products are also non-toxic and biodegradable and are included in ultra-low concentrations.
Protein Surfactant Complex™ (PSC™) that improves surfactant power. PSC™ is the formation of complexes between certain proteins and metabolites derived from food-grade yeast with a broad range of surfactants. PSC™ enhances surfactant performance and efficiency. They work with a variety of surfacts. PSC™ also reduces the cost of production of cleaning products, agricultural chemicals, and other industrial products. PSC™ does not contain hazardous chemicals, volatile organic compounds, or ozone-depleting substances.
Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology with a biosynthetic surfactant. The biosynthetic surfactant in this WMA allows the mix to be manufactured at temperatures 60° to 90°F lower than the traditional asphalt. This reduces energy consumption by 55%, reducing carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. This technology uses 75% more recycled material in its mix composition. Conventional asphalt paving mixes contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Synthesis of surfactants from cellulosic material through a biocatalyzed process. This novel process for the synthesis of surfactants does not require large amounts of energy nor organic solvents. This technology can decrease carbon dioxide emissions and reduce deforestation from palm plantations. Conventional surfact production is based on petrochemicals and seed oils, such as palm oil. Surfactant synthesis involves highly hazardous compounds to human health and the environment.
Two synthetic routes for the production of thermal polyaspartic acid. TPA is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and cost effective polymer with applications in many industrial processes, such as agriculture, water treatment, and detergent, oil, and gas industries. TPA functions as a more sustainable alternative to convetional polyacrylic acids (PAC). The first route for the synthesis of TPA consists of a solventless solid-state-polymerization-reaction that transforms the aspartic acid monomor into polysuccinimide, eliminating the use of organic solvents.
