Amyris, Method Products sign renewable surfactants, solvents deal

In California, Amyris has signed a Joint Development Agreement with Method Products to generate a portfolio of novel molecules from Biofene, Amyris’ renewable farnesene made from plant sugars, for use in Method’s products.

Under the agreement, Amyris and Method will collaborate to evaluate and develop multiple ingredients, such as surfactants and solvents, derived from Biofene, to deliver environmentally-friendly products with uncompromising performance. Upon successful development of an ingredient and incorporation into a Method product, Amyris and Method will pursue a supply agreement for Amyris to supply the ingredient to Method for use in its products.
