Biotechnology has immense power to convert waste products into high value materials while also producing technologies with "improved properties." And, in the bigger picture, biotechnology "can aid a transition to a circular economy." All of this is great news for beauty.
Biotechnology (particularly white biotech) can shape the future of cosmetics, for instance by yielding premium active ingredients such as hyaluronic acids.
This will be the subject of a free virtual briefing, "Biotech & the Circular Economy," which will take place Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. The presentation will provide an insider's look at Givaudan Active Beauty's Centre of Excellence in Pomacle, France, which produces actives that only require the use of locally sourced natural resources and which provide co-products for the company's partners.
>>>Registration is free.<<<
Join our experts to learn how the company reduces its environmental impact and how it sets the best example of a circular economy via its biorefinery.
Topics covered will include:
- How hyaluronic acid is produced
- The link between biotechnology & the circular economy
- Biorefineries: optimizing the use of local resources
This will be a must-attend event for beauty brand owners, R&D management, marketing and sales, and formulators.
