For over a decade, we had one mission at GFBiochemicals: Figure out how to make everyday products safe and sustainable. Today? We’re proud to say we have the solution. When GFBio started 12 years ago, we dreamed big: Bring levulinic acid and its derivatives to market—a powerful molecular platform (identified by the U.S. Department of Energy!) with the potential to defossilise the petrochemical industry. We explored. We tested. We innovated. • 200 patents • 10 years of R&D • Multiple acquisitions And today, we’re launching our breakthrough: RE:CHEMISTRY. So what is it? And why does it matter to you? RE:CHEMISTRY is three things: 1. A cutting-edge technology that turns agricultural waste into plant-based alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals 2. A new value chain that replaces hazardous materials without compromising performance 3. A stamp of safety and sustainability for the products you use daily This is a huge milestone. And now, we’re making it personal. Think about: • Household cleaners • Paints and coatings • Personal care products • Shampoos and shower gels Most of these everyday products still rely on fossil-based ingredients. And after use, those chemicals don’t just disappear… They: • Accumulate in waterways and ecosystems • End up circulating through our bodies We’re changing that. In 10 years, the way you clean your home, wash your hair, and maintain your surroundings will be: • More sustainable • But also cleaner, safer, and healthier for your family At its core, RE:CHEMISTRY is a promise: • For families → No hidden toxins or scary labels. • For manufacturers → Compliance without compromise. • For the planet → A second life for agricultural waste. GFBio is the foundation that made this possible—the engine behind the breakthroughs. But now that we’ve done our homework… We’re moving forward as RE:CHEMISTRY. We’re designing the everyday product of tomorrow. And we’re making chemistry PERSONAL. So remember: For more transparency, look for RE:CHEMISTRY 💚🧪 #RECHEMISTRY

🍻Recipe for success? Lots of food for thought in Monday's @10Things_ToKnow About as @KathrionaDev heads to @UCC to meet @GRajauria who is transforming #foodwaste into future food supplies! 📺Mon 25th Nov, 8.30pm @rte #10thingstoknowabout #feedingthefuture #NationalChallengeFund #NextGenerationEU @Researchirel @IrishResearch @teagasc @EPAResearchNews @EPAIreland @hea_irl @MarineInst @BordIascMhara @MetEireann @NewDecadeFilms @UCCResearch

Tonight's episode of @10Things_ToKnow will explore the SC-Protein #NationalChallengeFund project which aims to develop a sustainable waste-to-protein biorefinery system. 📺 Tune in to '10 Things to Know About' at 8.30pm on @RTEOne #NextGenerationEU

Team @BIOS4Grass at the DAFM @agriculture_ie project kick-off meeting. James Humphreys from @SoloheadFarm1, Gillian Young and @agauley from @AFBI_NI, and @NJBBrereton from @UCDSBES. Thanks to DAFM @agriculture_ie and DAERA @daera_ni for funding support.

We are hosting a free webinar for Science Week on Thursday 14th November at 2pm. We will be exploring new bioeconomy opportunities for grass as part of this years theme, harnessing the power of regeneration. Register now👉register.gotowebinar.com/reg… @MTU_ie @BiorefineryIE
