  • ZymoChem launches BAYSE™, the world's first commercially viable, bio-based, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP).

  • BAYSE™ offers a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based SAPs used in hygiene products like diapers.

  • In the $145 billion hygiene market, this solution addresses environmental issues and promotes a more sustainable future.

Leading biotech business ZymoChem introduces BAYSE™, a sustainable invention. It is the first 100% biobased, biodegradable, and commercially viable SAP in history.

This innovative material, which offers a sustainable substitute for disposable absorbent items like diapers, is set to upend the $145 billion global hygiene market.

Traditionally, these products rely on SAPs derived from fossil fuels. BAYSE™ stands out as a drop-in replacement, made entirely from renewable resources. This substantially reduces its carbon footprint and biodegrades readily, addressing the environmental burden of disposable hygiene products. Every minute, a staggering 3,00,000 diapers end up in landfills or are incinerated. BAYSE™ offers a solution that tackles this critical issue head-on.

"At ZymoChem, we are committed to accelerating the transition to a real-zero economy by developing bio-based materials for everyday products," said Harshal Chokhawala, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of ZymoChem. "With BAYSE™, we are tackling one of the world's most wasteful items head-on, offering a sustainable solution that does not compromise on performance or affordability."

ZymoChem's proprietary technology ensures BAYSE™ is produced at a competitive price compared to traditional SAPs. This makes sustainability achievable without an added cost burden. With a focus on environmental impact and inspiring change across industries, BAYSE™ extends beyond hygiene. Its applications reach into agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. These industries have faced concerns about microplastics from petroleum-based SAPs. BAYSE™ offers a high-performing, microplastic-free alternative.
