Kanesa D — October 30, 2025
Caldic, distributor of specialty chemical solutions, has partnered with biotech innovator AmphiStar to exclusively distribute and promote AmphiStar’s 100% upcycled biosurfactants for personal care applications throughout Europe.
This collaboration is set to establish biosurfactants as mainstream, sustainable, and effective personal care ingredients. The biosurfactants are entirely derived from upcycled bio-based waste and side streams, aligning with the EU’s Green Deal and Biotech Act to help customers meet the increasing demand for sustainable ingredients. Overall, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of these biosurfactants in the personal care sector.
“This initiative is fully in line with Caldic’s commitment to continuously invest in more sustainable product solutions that enable its customers to reduce the environmental footprint,” the company explained in a statement.
