AFYREN receives “efficient solution” label from the SOLAR impulse foundation

1 April 2020

Press release

The Solar Impulse Foundation works to unite ecology and economy. Its goal is to recognize 1,000 solutions that are both environmentally-friendly and economically viable through its “Efficient Solution” label. To date, 378 solutions around the world have received the label.

In France, there is an abundance of technologically feasible initiatives that qualify, based on the criteria, by providing true economic, socio-economic and environmental benefits, which is why 298 of the 378 companies are French.

AFYREN, the flagship French biotech industry, is proud to have been recognized by the Solar Impulse Foundation as a recipient of the “Efficient Solution” label.

AFYREN has designed and develops breakthrough innovation in green chemistry aimed at promoting a circular and low-carbon biobased economy.

Its biomolecules recovered from non-food biomass provide innovative and effective solutions in the areas of cosmetics, flavours and perfumes, human and animal nutrition and fine chemistry.

Current daily consumer products are far too often made from petroleum-based molecules. Reducing our carbon emissions and our dependence on oil also requires a capacity to replace these petroleum products in our daily consumer goods. AFYREN is accomplishing this through the following means :

“The bio-sourced molecules we produce can completely and competitively replace current petroleum-based products, without the need to change consumer habits, while satisfying numerous climate and environmental requirements. We are very proud of this recognition from the Bertrand Piccard Foundation, which proves that AFYREN can actively help the world achieve green economic growth.” Nicolas Sordet, CEO of AFYREN
