Business as Unusual: 2nd POET Purified Alcohol plant debuts in Indiana
In Indiana, POET Bioprocessing – Alexandria began production of purified alcohol this week after breaking ground in late 2020. The facility will produce purified alcohol which will include grain neutral spirits (GNS) and USP-grade alcohol. Alexandria is the second purified alcohol production facility within the POET footprint. POET Bioprocessing – Leipsic began production in March. POET meets the purity standards for including the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) label standards and will meet the Global Food Safety Initiative’s Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program standards and kosher guidelines. The expansion of purified alcohol production further extends the reach of one of the world’s largest bioethanol and bioproducts companies, bringing even more green consumer products to the market.
Purified alcohol is a fundamental ingredient in thousands of well-known products ranging from foods and beverages, personal care products, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizers and industrial applications.
“We’re proud to bring to market a renewable product made from surface-of-the-earth materials,” said Darin Cartwright, POET’s Vice President overseeing purified alcohol sales and marketing. “POET’s purified alcohols not only exceed the highest quality standards, they also can replace fossil fuel-based synthetic ingredients in many products, making us the obvious choice for customers who value environmental responsibility.”
