WE ARE SHIFTING FROM FOSSIL BASED DEPENDENCY TO A FUTURE POWERED BY SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

Technology

RE:CHEMISTRY is the breakthrough technology platform from GFBiochemicals, translating 10 years of cutting-edge R&D into commercially viable, plant-based alternatives to harmful petrochemical ingredients. It offers a range of multifunctional levulinate technologies and their derivatives across 193 countries.

RE:CHEMISTRY enables businesses from home and personal care to paints and coatings, industrial cleaning, and agrochemicals to develop safe and sustainable everyday products. With the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 100%, it is setting a new standard for the future of chemistry.

  • Plant waste feedstock

    Produced from biomass, preferably from agricultural waste streams or co-products from other industries, such as paper mills.

  • Chemical Transformation

    RE:CHEMISTRY has invested for more than a decade in research and highly innovative technology towards the levulinic acid platform and has been the first company to produce levulinate-based derivatives affordably at a commercial scale.

  • SAFE & RENEWABLE

    All the products in our range are classified as non-flammable, non-toxic to aquatic life, and most of all, deliver high performance. We reduce waste, conserve resources, and maintain the highest standards of health and safety in all our operations.

  • Back to nature

    By using eco-friendly materials and sustainable manufacturing, we minimize ecological impact and support a healthier planet. This commitment reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship and responsible innovation.

Levulinate technologies


The levulinate platform was identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the 12 molecules of the future, with the potential to contribute significantly to defossilisation. It is considered a versatile building block for renewable solvents, plasticizers, polyols, monomers, polymers, nylons, and even biofuels.


Levulinates are produced from biomass, specifically from agricultural waste streams or co-products from other industries, such as paper mills.

THE BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY THAT UNLOCKS HIGH-PERFORMING PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS FOR EVERYDAY PRODUCTS THAT ARE SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE

Levulinic acid is a platform molecule made from Agro-waste, with a left hand and a right hand functionality, which each can be independently transformed to different functionalities and therefore to a wealth of molecules targeting different applications.

It’s a major breakthrough in the chemistry world !
