AmphiStar offers a portfolio of locally produced microbial biosurfactants to companies seeking to develop sustainable, performant & affordable products with surfactants as important performance ingredients. AmphiStars’ surfactants are not linked to fossil feedstocks, direct land use or deforestation and offer a sustainable alternative to companies in the home- and personal care sector, but also to other sectors applying surfactants such as the agro-, food-, feed-, industrials,… sectors. The surfactant market is huge (20 million tonnes produced each year) which are mainly produced from fossil- and palm feedstocks through classic chemistry. AmphiStar offers a game changing technology using biobased (waste) feedstocks and biological and mild processing to produce a range of sustainable biosurfactants.

AmphiStar is the first company to produce and offer sophorolipid products which are 100% sourced from biobased waste- and side streams to the market. This is AmphiStars first go-to-market product, which was recently showcased in the “Too Good to Waste” Ecover consumer cleaning products (https://www.ecover.com/action/too-good-to-waste/). These first products will be followed by other microbial biosurfactants from our product portfolio. As such AmphiStar aims to make biosurfactants mainstream.
