ChainCraft and Eternis Fine Chemicals announced a strategic collaboration to develop low-carbon, biobased aroma chemicals for the perfumery industry. The partnership will focus on exploring and commercializing innovative applications for ChainCraft’s SensiCraft® range of fatty acids. These fatty acids are produced using cutting-edge fermentation technology at ChainCraft’s full-scale factory in Ter Apelkanaal, The Netherlands.
ChainCraft’s process utilizes plant-based food residues, such as potato leftovers, providing a circular alternative to fossil-based and palm oil-derived products. This approach responds to the increasing demand for greener, high-performance solutions in the flavors and fragrances and personal care industries.
Eternis, recognized as a global manufacturer of aroma ingredients, contributes its manufacturing excellence, market expertise, and supply chain network to help accelerate the adoption of these next-generation ingredients.
This collaboration represents a significant step towards reducing the carbon footprint associated with aroma chemicals. As the global market increasingly shifts towards sustainable and ethical sourcing, ChainCraft and Eternis are positioning themselves as leaders in this transformation.
Jeroen van Dorp, Commercial Manager at ChainCraft, highlighted the collaboration’s strengths. “The uniqueness lies in our extensive joint processing capabilities,” he stated. ChainCraft’s proprietary biotechnology is well-complemented by Eternis’s chemocatalytic and formulation expertise.
Both companies share a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Eternis has been a leader in driving sustainable innovation within the aroma chemicals sector. As one of the largest suppliers of fragrance ingredients globally, Eternis is positioned to scale climate-conscious solutions for major market players.
Billy Gittins, Vice President of Strategy, Marketing & Product Management at Eternis, emphasized the importance of partnerships. “Eternis is constantly seeking new partners with innovative technologies to transform our industry towards sustainability,” he said, underscoring their commitment to next-generation fragrance ingredients.
