CIRCULAR CHEMISTRY

BioX - Circular Detergent Platform

Detergents and cleaning products made from local biological waste streams.

BioX is not just a soap. It is a circular detergent platform built from used kitchen oil, cheese whey-derived lactic acid, and coffee-derived lignin.

BioX Circular Detergents

From NettleSmart to BioX: Circular Detergents from Local Waste Streams

The project began with NettleSmart, exploring nettle as a natural fiber and biopolymer source.

  • Used kitchen oil from restaurants
  • Cheese whey transformed into lactic acid
  • Coffee-derived lignin from biomass processing

These streams became the basis for a new circular detergent platform.
