For over a decade, we had one mission at GFBiochemicals: Figure out how to make everyday products safe and sustainable. Today? We’re proud to say we have the solution. When GFBio started 12 years ago, we dreamed big: Bring levulinic acid and its derivatives to market—a powerful molecular platform (identified by the U.S. Department of Energy!) with the potential to defossilise the petrochemical industry. We explored. We tested. We innovated. • 200+ patents • 10+ years of R&D • Multiple acquisitions And today, we’re launching our breakthrough: RE:CHEMISTRY. So what is it? And why does it matter to you? RE:CHEMISTRY is three things: 1. A cutting-edge technology that turns agricultural waste into plant-based alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals 2. A new value chain that replaces hazardous materials without compromising performance 3. A stamp of safety and sustainability for the products you use daily This is a huge milestone. And now, we’re making it personal. Think about: • Household cleaners • Paints and coatings • Personal care products • Shampoos and shower gels Most of these everyday products still rely on fossil-based ingredients. And after use, those chemicals don’t just disappear… They: • Accumulate in waterways and ecosystems • End up circulating through our bodies We’re changing that. In 10 years, the way you clean your home, wash your hair, and maintain your surroundings will be: • More sustainable • But also cleaner, safer, and healthier for your family At its core, RE:CHEMISTRY is a promise: • For families → No hidden toxins or scary labels. • For manufacturers → Compliance without compromise. • For the planet → A second life for agricultural waste. GFBio is the foundation that made this possible—the engine behind the breakthroughs. But now that we’ve done our homework… We’re moving forward as RE:CHEMISTRY. We’re designing the everyday product of tomorrow. And we’re making chemistry PERSONAL. So remember: For more transparency, look for RE:CHEMISTRY 💚🧪 #RECHEMISTRY
