LAVAL, Oct. 15, 2025 – Dispersa™, a leading CleanTech company in Canada, transforming food waste into sustainable chemical ingredients called surfactants, proudly announces the official opening of its new headquarters in Laval, Quebec. The company is Canada’s first and only biosurfactant manufacturer, bolstering the local supply chain of raw materials for everyday products such as cleaners, soaps, and detergents.. The event marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to commercialize PuraSurf™, the world’s first waste-derived biosurfactant and contributes to not only localized supply chain but also localized job creation.
The opening ceremony brings together government officials, stakeholders, and members of the CleanTech community to celebrate Dispersa’s growth journey—from lab-scale discovery to full-scale production. The new space will help accelerate the company’s R&D and product development, enabling Dispersa™ to meet rising global demand for natural, high-performance surfactants that replace petroleum and palm-based chemicals.
“Moving into Dispersa’s new headquarters represents an important chapter in Dispersa’s and Canada’s role in the global bioeconomy,” said Nivatha Balendra, Founder and CEO of Dispersa. “By scaling our waste-to-biosurfactant technology, we are not only producing a sustainable alternative to conventional surfactants but also demonstrating how circular innovation can be accessible as well.”
Guests attending the October 15th ceremony will have the opportunity to tour the new Dispersa™ headquarters and the journey behind Dispersa’s BioEterna™ technology, a proprietary process that converts waste oils and sugars into affordable, high-quality, and circular biosurfactants.
“We are thrilled to open our doors and celebrate this milestone with those who have supported us since the beginning,” added Balendra. “Today’s event is not only about our growth, it’s about reflecting with gratitude towards our community of champions who made this journey possible.”
