We do this by having microbial ecosystems work for us.Our suite of Ecovia™ Biopolymers are created from a proprietary fermentation process. They are affordable, biobased, biodegradable, and functional alternatives to conventional acrylate and acrylamide polymers and starch-based biopolymers. Applications range from soil additives for water retention to super-absorbent cores for infant diapers to thickeners for personal care and industrial products, among many others.
