What we make
Our flagship ingredient, PuraSurf M™, is a 100% waste-derived biosurfactant that is fully biodegradable and compatible across a range of HI&I formulations.
- Naturally 1,4-dioxane-free and sulfate-free.
- Palm-free and petroleum-free.
- Sourced from ethically recovered local food waste.
- Delivers a lower carbon footprint through waste valorization.
Why it matters
A World-First Innovation
We are the first company globally to manufacture biosurfactants entirely from food waste. This has in turn enabled Dispersa™ to offer sustainable yet affordable and performing ingredients. We are committed to shifting the standard for ingredient sustainability and accessibility.
By sourcing our ingredients from food waste, we:
- Divert organic waste from landfills, cutting emissions.
- Reduce biosurfactant cost compared to alternates produced from traditional virgin feedstocks.
- Minimize land and water use, avoiding resource-intensive crops like palm and corn.
Close the loop, turning discarded food into high-value, planet-friendly ingredients.
Join the circular movement
We’re partnering with leading formulators, brands, and manufacturers to scale waste-derived biosurfactants that can replace their synthetic counterparts. Let’s redefine what “clean” really means. We are on a mission to ensure sustainability is not compromised by affordability.
