TOGETHER

The PURESURF team strives to support the chemical industry in adopting bio-based resources as valuable assets by developing selective transformations & value-added products. We believe that we can deliver novel products and implement breakthrough technologies into current manufacturing practices to become an integral part of a future sustainable & circular economy. Therefore, we founded a purpose-driven spin-off company that will commercialize our findings.
