“Growing Shift Toward Bio-Based Surfactants”
- Bio-based surfactants are becoming a preferred choice due to their eco-friendly nature and lower environmental impact
- For instance, a Canadian agrochemical company launched a corn-compatible bio-surfactant that showed no harmful soil residues after repeated use
- Farmers are shifting toward natural surfactant ingredients such as soy lecithin and alkyl polyglucosides for safer farming practices
- For instance, a rice farming community in Southeast Asia reported fewer crop burn incidents after switching to soy-based surfactants
- Regulatory pressure is motivating companies to reformulate products with safer, biodegradable surfactants
- Research and development efforts are expanding to produce high-performing bio-based surfactants that rival synthetic ones
- Leading agrochemical brands are launching bio-surfactants to cater to the growing organic farming sector
