Introducing PuraSurf M™
PuraSurf M™ is the first member of the PuraSurf™ family, and the world’s first biosurfactant made entirely from food-waste.
Designed to deliver powerful cleaning, foaming, and emulsifying performance, PuraSurf M™ offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic and bio-based surfactants derived from palm or petroleum.
It integrates smoothly into formulations with minor adjustments, enabling formulators to meet both performance and sustainability goals.
Key benefits and features
- High performance – Excellent foaming, emulsification, and cleansing properties
- 100% waste-derived – Made entirely from renewable sources
- Readily biodegradable – Breaks down naturally, with no harmful residues
- Mild and non-toxic – Safe for skin contact and sensitive applications
- Formulation flexibility – Compatible with a wide range of ingredients and formulations
Why use food waste?
Canada wastes over 35.5 million tonnes of food annually, which translates to over $100 billion in lost economic value and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
By using food waste as our sole feedstock, we:
- Divert organic waste from landfills, cutting emissions.
- Reduce biosurfactant cost compared to alternates produced from traditional virgin feedstocks.
- Minimize land and water use, avoiding resource-intensive crops like palm and corn.
- Close the loop, turning discarded food into high-value, planet-friendly ingredients.
PuraSurf M™ isn’t just sustainable, it’s circular by design.
