the U.S. subsidiary of Green Biologics Ltd.,
a U.K. industrial biotechnology

announced today an exclusive collaboration
with Jungbunzlauer Ladenburg GmbH,

in December 2016, with its first bulk export shipment
to Jungbunzlauer in mid-January.

for Green Biologics,”
“As the global leader in natural ingredients
built off its core strengths in

Jungbunzlauer has been committed to sustainability
for 150 years. We are delighted to be working
exclusively with Jungbunzlauer
on the global introduction of bio-based citrate derivatives.”
“Our focus is to selectively move our
renewable n-butanol and acetone
into high value markets, and Jungbunzlauer
is a superb technological and market-facing partner
for Green Biologics, particularly in
citricbased plasticizers, but in
other bio-based esters as well,”
