Sustainable biochemicals company Circa Group AS and IXOM Operations Pty Ltd, a market leader in water treatment and chemical distribution in Australia and New Zealand, entered into a collaboration agreement to develop the market for Cyrene™, Circa’s sustainable, bio-derived industrial solvent, in the ANZ region. This collaboration aims at developing the business in the region through IXOM channels and ultimately to enter into a supply and distribution agreement.
“This collaboration is an important step forward to serve customers in Australia and New Zealand where IXOM’s expertise and leadership will contribute to position Cyrene™ with customers and applications that have a strong drive to replace traditional solvents.” said Circa VP Product Development, Alessandro Napoli. “We intend to jointly move into a formal supply and distribution agreement as soon as conditions are met.”
“IXOM is very pleased to bring Cyrene™ to our customers in Australia and New Zealand,” said Paul Griffiths, IXOM Business Manager – Agriculture, Pulp & Paper ANZ. “We anticipate growing interest in sustainable, bio-derived solvent options, and we look forward to working with Circa to grow this market.”
Cyrene™ is a bio-based solvent that demonstrates circularity, sustainability, and safety at every stage of its life cycle. From fossil-free non-food feedstock to its recyclability and biodegradability, it is a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based solvents.
Drawing on over 100 years of heritage, IXOM, headquartered in Melbourne, is an established and trusted industry leader in water treatment, manufacturing, and chemical sourcing.
