Biosciences firm launches three new application specific powder additives

Global biotechnology company Genesis Biosciences has announced the launch of three new Evogen probiotic and microbial powder additives, designed to enhance environmental sustainability while delivering superior cleaning performance.

The three powders, which include the Evogen GDL Powder, Evogen General Purpose Powder and Evogen Odour Neutraliser Powder, have been manufactured in accordance with recognised international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and are compliant with major ECO accreditations.

As highly concentrated, water-soluble microbial additives, the powders can be used to formulate products which quickly degrade organic compounds to support hygiene maintenance and waste management.

The ‘application-specific’ Evogen Powders have been extensively tested to demonstrate targeted performance across various applications. Each powder is designed with specific strains to ensure that the microbes don’t just exist in the formula – they actively get to work where they’re needed, delivering better results.

The Evogen GDL Powder probiotic additive breaks down grease, edible oils and other organic matter, and is primarily intended for use in food processing facilities, industrial cleaning applications and wastewater treatment.

Similarly, the multi-strain microbial Evogen General Purpose Powder is also suitable for use in drain maintenance, institutional and industrial cleaning, and municipal waste processing by accelerating the degradation of organic buildup on surfaces.

The targeted Bacillus blend in the Evogen Odour Neutraliser Powder has been engineered to eliminate odours at source by degrading malodorous compounds in agricultural settings, carpets, washrooms and waste collection areas.

Dr Emma Saunders, General Manager of Genesis Biosciences, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our three new Evogen Powder additives, providing formulators with application specific probiotic and microbial solutions which enhance cleaning efficacy and greater environmental compatibility.

“We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach; our specialist team use advanced molecular and microbiological screening techniques to identify and select Bacillus strains with highly specialised degradation capabilities and safety credentials to match the demands of each application. Every single strain in our formulations is carefully chosen for its ability to break down specific organic compounds relevant to the intended use, whether it’s oils and greases, organic waste buildup or malodorous compounds.

“This targeted approach in our new Evogen Powder additives help us continue to provide formulators and manufacturers with a sustainable alternative to harsh chemicals, supporting global efforts to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high standards of hygiene.”

Genesis Biosciences reformulates Evogen concentrates

Genesis Biosciences has modernised the formulas of its Evogen concentrates, making the range 100% bio-based.

The company’s Evogen products combine innovative eco-benign® chemistry and application-specific beneficial bacteria to offer effective cleaning across a wide range of industries including facilities management and wastewater treatment.

The range’s performance-driven and environmentally-responsible microbial and antimicrobial technologies are designed to provide sustainable alternatives to the traditional harsh chemicals often used in cleaning products.

The reformulated products include the Evogen General Purpose Bio-cleaner Concentrate, Evogen Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner Concentrate, Evogen Exterior Hard Surface Cleaner Concentrate and the Evogen Odour Neutraliser Concentrate.

The project to revamp the Evogen formulas began in 2023, with testing and quality checks on compatibility, performance and stability concluding in Q1 of 2024.

The reformulated concentrates are now fully plant-derived by using co-formulants and fully biodegradable raw materials including bio-based alcohol ethoxylates and application-specific Bacillus consortia, thus ensuring compliance with current eco-accreditations such as ECOCERT’s European Ecolabel and recognised international standards for quality.

The improved concentrates can be diluted by formulators within the supply chain to produce 100% bio-based probiotic cleaning products for the end-user.

Dr Emma Saunders, General Manager at Genesis Biosciences, said: “We’ve always been proud to lead the way with products that are effective yet safe for the user and the environment, and our team is committed to continually improving our solutions such as our Evogen concentrates range.

“This is incredibly important as according to A.I.S.E (the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products), just over half (53%) of pan-European consumers believe that cleaning products like detergents are safe for the people who use them and 28% believe they are safe for the environment. By providing alternatives to products derived from petrochemicals with harmful by-products, we can encourage consumers that there are safer options with low toxicity that deliver a superior cleaning performance.

“This is our greenest formula; our new Evogen concentrates use 100% bio-based ingredients which minimise the impact on the environment without compromising on the successful degradation of organic and malodorous compounds found on surfaces.”
