New study makes the case for biological detergents

Nearly all industries today are under pressure to make their products more environmentally friendly. And in the laundry industry, that challenge is two-fold: Not only does the detergent need to be “greener,” it needs to maintain the performance that consumers expect.

Amid growing concern, industries the world over are looking for ways to make their products “greener” – without compromising performance, of course. And this is especially true for laundry products, where there is increasing pressure to develop detergents that are gentler to the environment and to end-users.

Surfactants, a critical detergent component, are one such area where we saw potential for improvement. That’s why we conducted a study to show how enzymatic technology could functionally replace the surfactants found in detergents - both liquid and powder.
