AFYREN SAS announced that it has signed a North American distribution agreement with Excellentia, a leading player in the supply of natural ingredients to the flavors and fragrances market. Excellentia will distribute the full range of FLAVYREN™ natural acids2 produced by AFYREN NEOXY, AFYREN's first factory. The organic acids AFYREN NEOXY produces using agricultural co-products as feedstock are identical (drop-in molecules) to ingredients produced using petroleum derivatives, so they can be directly substituted without changing customers' production methods.

AFYREN's patented process is biomimetic, reproducing on an industrial scale a fermentation process that has been occurring in nature for millions of years. The process is using natural microorganisms and is fully circular. It was developed using a “zero industrial waste” approach: water is fully recycled, and the co-product that is left over from the process is used as a potassium-rich organic fertilizer, completing the circular process.
