LanzaTech Global, Inc. has collaborated with Dow to introduce a new biodegradable surfactant to the home care market. Dow's surfactant, EcoSense 2470, is made using LanzaTech's CarbonSmart technology and ensures immediate market entry, while maintaining high-performance standards and advancing sustainability with recycled carbon materials. Surfactants are a critical ingredient for creating the foam and cleaning action of many household cleaning and laundry products.

LanzaTech's biorecycling technology works like a brewery: proprietary bacteria consume carbon-rich pollution from industrial facilities, such as steelmaking plants, and convert it into CarbonSmart chemicals, such as ethanol. This ethanol can be converted into ethylene oxide, and subsequently used to produce surfactants. This recycled carbon-based surfactant, marketed by Dow as EcoSense 2470, has versatile properties suitable for diverse home care applications.

The official launch of EcoSense 2470 will take place during a presentation at the Innovation Forum with Dow experts hosted during the SEPAWA®?Congress, held from October 26 - 28 in Berlin, Germany.
