What's the Problem?
To transform raw materials into products, chemical reactions have become key elements for the industry. More than 10 million tons of chemicals are used annually, some of which could be harmful to our health and the environment. Modern society, increasingly demanding and informed, demands more natural products. They also attach great importance to the use of environmentally friendly technologies. For example, 73% of consumers are willing to pay more to consume a "Clean Label" product. To impulse the transition to a green economy, we must get rid of industrial processes based on chemical reactions that are: harmful to the environment, hazardous to our health, slow, and expensive.
How are they Solving it?
Einsted is transforming the way food and cosmetics are produced. Through electrochemical technologies, they generate sustainable chemical reactions, contributing to a better quality of life. To this end, they are developing an intelligent Nano-Electro-Reactor (iNER) that allows them to generate "cleaner" processes and products. Thanks to Einsted´s specialized technology (EEVA - Enzyme Emulation via Electro-Chemistry), continuous flow, and real-time control, industries will be able to successfully change the way they produce today and project themselves into a more sustainable future. Currently, they are working on 3 development lines: - An electroporation chamber for non-thermal and non-chemical sterilization/pasteurization. - A new continuous starch acetylation system, which allows a 60 times more efficient production; reduction of CO2 emissions as well as water and chemicals consumption. - The development of its first "Clean Label" product: a green starch for the industry.
