In terms of content, the Innovation Factory focuses on areas where Evonik already has established strengths and where customers urgently need new solutions. One example is rhamnolipids: these highly effective yet exceptionally environmentally friendly biosurfactants are already used in cosmetic and cleaning products and offer many additional applications. Evonik is now consistently pursuing this path: with a new portfolio of biopolymers that can replace fossil raw materials, and the development of anion exchange membranes (AEM), which are expected to play a key role in the green hydrogen economy in the future.
