ZymoChem<\/a>, a leading biotech company dedicated to creating sustainable materials for everyday products, is proud to announce the launch of BAYSE\u2122, the world’s first scalable, 100% bio-based, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). This groundbreaking innovation is set to revolutionize the $145 billion global hygiene industry and pave the way for a more sustainable future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAYSE\u2122 is a drop-in replacement for traditional, fossil fuel-based SAPs, which are a key component in disposable, absorbent hygiene products such as infant diapers. Unlike petroleum-derived, polyacrylate counterparts, BAYSE\u2122 is made from renewable resources, maintains a lower carbon footprint, and is readily biodegradable, addressing the environmental concerns associated with the 300,000 diapers that enter landfills or are incinerated every minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At ZymoChem, we are committed to accelerating the transition to a real-zero economy by developing bio-based materials for everyday products,” said Harshal Chokhawala, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of ZymoChem.<\/strong> “With BAYSE\u2122, we are tackling one of the world’s most wasteful items head-on, offering a sustainable solution that does not compromise on performance or affordability.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ZymoChem’s proprietary technology platform enables the production of BAYSE\u2122 at a cost which is competitive with traditional SAPs, ensuring that sustainability can be achieved without a premium. Intent on creating a positive environmental impact and inspiring change across sectors, ZymoChem\u2019s BAYSE\u2122 boasts additional applications in industries such as agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. The creation of microplastics from fossil-based petroleum SAP has been a concern for those industries, which BAYSE\u2122 addresses as a high-performance, microplastic-free alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZymoChem recently raised $21 million in Series A funding to accelerate the commercialization of BAYSE\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
