Nice LinkedIn call out today from Brian Sansoni - Senior Vice President, Communications, Outreach & Membership at American Cleaning Institute:
At #AOCS2024, Yvon DURANT of Itaconix Corporation shares details about a new class of bio-based polymers that "not only deliver top performance but are non hazardous, facilitate concentration and a reduction in both natural and synthetic components and review their short term and long-term environmental fates."
Always glad to connect with innovators from ACI member company Itaconix Corporation. Great to say hello to John Fernald and John R. Shaw at hashtag#AOCS2024 Annual Meeting & Expo in Montreal.
Nice booth too! Commented on by Greg Smith
