Order for Sustainable Detergent Ingredient

25 February 2020

Itaconix plc ("Itaconix" or the "Company")

New European Order for Sustainable Detergent Ingredient

Itaconix is pleased to announce that it has received its first order from a second European customer for its Itaconix® CHT™ 122 bio-based detergent ingredient.

Similar to the Company's announcement in May 2019 of its first European customer for Itaconix® CHT™ 122, the new European customer is using the Itaconix polymer as a key ingredient in a new non-phosphate detergent.

Itaconix® CHT™ 122 and the recently announced Itaconix® TSI™ 322 allow formulators to meet increasing consumer and commercial demands for sustainable products without compromising on cost or performance.

John R. Shaw, CEO of Itaconix, stated: "The European non-phosphate detergent market offers a substantial new revenue opportunity for us. Every new customer further validates this opportunity for our ingredients to provide the foundation for a new generation of safer detergent products setting new standards for performance, value and sustainability."
