Studies are on the way to strengthen the thesis on the use of bio-based acrylic acid expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its’ anticipated contribution on the greener products and goods in the coming years. It is to be predicted that innovation developed in R & D departments of Procter & Gamble allowing conversion of the lactic acid to bio-based acrylic acid are to be beneficial for the universe. In accordance with this claim, P&G signed an agreement with Cargill to develop its bio-based acrylic acid innovation.
‘’ We can and will help reduce the carbon footprint’’
“This new technology demonstrates that we can leverage the best materials science with new bio-based solutions to deliver sustainable innovation in consumer goods production. By investing in advancing bio-based solutions, we can and will help reduce the carbon footprint of various industries. This is consistent with P&G’s stated Ambition 2030 sustainability goals to look to new, renewable sources of raw materials for conversion into everyday products,” says Dr. Annie Weisbrod, Principal Scientist, and Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability at Procter & Gamble.
‘’ This Technology Offers Sustainable Solutions”
“We are thrilled that P&G granted Cargill an exclusive license to this technology that converts lactic acid into bio-acrylic acid,” says Dr. Jill Zullo, strategic marketing and innovation leader for Cargill’s bioindustrial business. “By using annually renewable crops, we’ll be able to contribute to farmer prosperity while delivering more renewable solutions that are estimated to have less than half the GHG footprint versus the petroleum-based equivalent.”
