Ecovia Biopolymers: Next-Generation Functional Ingredients & Materials
Our suite of Ecovia™ Biopolymers are created from a proprietary fermentation process and a companion chemistry platform based on safe and non-toxic gamma polyglutamic acid. They are 100% biobased, biodegradable, and functional alternatives to conventional acrylate and acrylamide polymers and starch-based biopolymers. Our products are for R&D use only.

About Our Manufacturing Process
Ecovia Renewables utilizes a fermentation-based bioprocess to produce high-performing, multi-functional biopolymers from 100% renewable feedstocks like glucose or glycerol. Our lead product families, termed AzuraBase™ and AzuraGel™, are both 100% USDA-certified biobased and AzuraGel™ superabsorbents meet the ‘Ready Biodegradable’ standard of OECD 301B.
We strive to create the best biobased ingredients and materials. Independent testing shows our AzuraGel™ Biopolymers exceed the performance of current-generation starch-based absorbents. Our goal is to develop and offer a viable biobased alternative to widely-used petrochemical-derived polyacrylate- and polyacrylamide-based materials, including as superabsorbents for hygiene products. Note: Products for R&D Use Only.
