READING, PA -- Brenntag, a distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients, has partnered with Synonym, a biomaterials production platform, to fast-track bioproducts to the global market.

Together, the companies will work closely to increase the adoption of biobased ingredients, focusing first on the Beauty & Personal Care and Household, Industrial and Institutional Cleaners markets. The partnership will offer end-to-end solutions to brands looking to integrate next-generation ingredients and formulations.

Leading beauty, personal care, and cleaning companies face a growing challenge to their product portfolios: their customers are demanding better-performing, more sustainable products, in a world of increasing regularity complexity.

Biobased ingredients can deliver on these mandates, and the “Better with Bio” platform will make these biobased ingredients accessible to companies for the first time.

The “Better with Bio” program will combine Synonym’s proprietary engineering solutions and production capabilities with Brenntag’s global customer reach, market knowledge, and formulation expertise.

Consistent with Brenntag’s leadership in sustainability, the program will allow brands and manufacturers to access a portfolio of multi-functional biobased ingredients combined with formulation services to deliver turnkey solutions and address growing consumer demand.

Headquartered in Essen, Germany, “Brenntag is excited to partner with Synonym to bring innovative sustainable chemistry to the market,” said Francois Bleger, Global President Beauty and Care at Brenntag Specialties. “This relationship further demonstrates Brenntag’s commitment to being a leader in the Beauty and Home Care markets.”

“We believe we’re on the cusp of a Great Reformulation, where consumer, regulatory, and market imperatives are driving brands to deliver a new generation of products powered by biology,” said Edward Shenderovich, Co-Founder and CEO of Synonym, “We’re thrilled to partner with Brenntag to accelerate this vision. Their endorsement is an important milestone for the whole biomanufacturing sector.”
