PRESS RELEASE
CIRCA GROUP'S BIO-BASED CHEMICALS FEATURED IN MERCK KGaA WEBINAR
OSLO, NORWAY - 28 September 2021 - LGO derivatives and renewable solvent CyreneTM
made by biotechnology company Circa Group will be profiled by Merck KGaA in an
online webinar by Dr Jane Murray, Global Head of Green Chemistry at Merck
KGaA's Life Sciences Division, on September 30 at 08.00 EST.
Merck has been an early adopter of green chemistry approaches and was one of the
first companies in the chemicals industry to support the commercialisation of
CyreneTM. Circa Group has been working with Merck for the last 5 years to provide
research and industrial customers with access to its novel bio-based chemicals.
Circa's FuracellTM process converts non-food biomass waste into advanced
bio-based chemicals, including renewable solvent CyreneTM which can replace
traditional, toxic, fossil-based solvents such as NMP, DMF, DCM and DMSO.
Tony Duncan, CEO and co-founder of Circa Group, said, "This event further
supports the commercial reality of more sustainable and greener chemistries. I
am pleased that customers will have the opportunity to learn about the
sustainability and performance of our renewable solvent CyreneTM from Dr Murray."
