Insights

  • Syensqo has introduced Rhodasurf B7 UP, a bio-circular laureth-7 surfactant for liquid detergents and surface cleaners.
  • Produced at its ISCC PLUS-certified Moerdijk facility in the Netherlands, it reduces net CO₂ emissions by over 90 per cent versus conventional grades.
  • The drop-in solution supports lower-carbon formulations without requiring product reformulation.
Syensqo is expanding its laundry care solutions portfolio with Rhodasurf B7 UP, a natural laureth-7 surfactant enabling more sustainable liquid laundry detergents and hard surface care formulations. The product is manufactured at Syensqo’s on-pipe ethoxylation facility in Moerdijk, the Netherlands, which recently received ISCC PLUS mass-balance certification.

“Rhodasurf B7 UP is a true drop-in replacement that helps laundry care brands scale sustainability without having to reformulate products or disrupt existing supply chains,” said Benjamin Leleu, Syensqo Global Marketing Manager, Consumer Care.“ It’s a tangible example of how we are expanding our UP Circular Solutions portfolio. We look forward to further growing this range to continue supporting our customers’ sustainability ambitions.”

Rhodasurf B7 UP is produced using bio-circular, upcycled ethylene oxide feedstocks. It delivers the same specifications and functional performance as conventional laureth-7 surfactants, providing robust detergency, wetting and solubilizing performance while reducing net CO2 footprint by more than 90% compared with standard petrochemical-based grades. Compatible with Ecocert and Ecolabel certifications, this new product helps fast-moving consumer goods companies and private label manufacturers respond to growing consumer demand for more natural, lower-carbon products. Rhodasurf B7 UP is part of Syensqo’s UP Circular Solutions range, a portfolio based on a circular mass-balance approach that integrates upcycled raw materials while preserving product performance.
