Advancing the circular bioeconomy with next-generation biosurfactants
Amphistar is transforming the surfactant industry with high-purity biosurfactants derived from second generation (2G) feedstocks, reducing reliance on fossil-based chemicals.
As essential components in cleaning, emulsification and foaming, surfactants are critical to numerous industrial and consumer products.
Amphistar’s patented waste-to-value technology enables the first fully circular biosurfactant production, transforming waste and side streams into high-performance, biodegradable alternatives. By developing advanced production strains and bioprocessing techniques that enhance yield, purity and functionality, Amphistar is setting a new standard for sustainable and scalable surfactant solutions.
At Amphistar, we’re redefining how surfactants are made, replacing fossil-based chemistry with circular, bio-based alternatives. This requires not only capital, but partners who understand the science, the markets, and the systemic impact of what we do. ECBF brings exactly that: a rare combination of deep technical expertise, strategic engagement, and a shared conviction that sustainability and profitability reinforce each other. Their support has been pivotal in accelerating our transition from innovation to industrial scale.
