Dec 01, 2023World's first scalable, 100% biobased, and biodegradable super absorbent polymer - World Bio Market Insights
Nov 07, 2024ZymoChem, a biotechnology company focused on developing sustainable materials for everyday products, announced the launch of BAYSE, a scalable, bio-based, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). This innovative material has the potential to transform the global hygiene industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.
BAYSE is designed to be a drop-in replacement for traditional SAPs, which are commonly used in disposable absorbent products such as infant diapers. Unlike petroleum-based polyacrylates, BAYSE is made from renewable resources and has a lower carbon footprint. It is also readily biodegradable, addressing concerns about the environmental impact of discarded diapers.
ZymoChem’s proprietary technology enables the production of BAYSE at a cost comparable to traditional SAPs, ensuring that sustainability can be achieved without additional cost. The company aims to create a positive environmental impact and inspire change across various industries.
In addition to its application in the hygiene sector, BAYSE has potential uses in industries such as agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. The material addresses concerns about microplastics generated by fossil-based petroleum SAPs, offering a high-performance, microplastic-free alternative.
“At ZymoChem, we are committed to accelerating the transition to a real-zero economy by developing bio-based materials for everyday products,” said Harshal Chokhawala, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of ZymoChem. “With BAYSE™, we are tackling one of the world’s most wasteful items head-on, offering a sustainable solution that does not compromise on performance or affordability.”
