Phycus presentation

Innovative biotechnology solutions in Ontario

Phycus Biotechnologies, based in Ontario, stands out as a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing of glycolic acid. Operating as a cosmetic lab and biotechnology facility, the company transforms the way chemical compounds are produced for various industries.

Sustainable production through fermentation

The company’s innovative approach relies on microbial fermentation, similar to traditional beer and wine making processes. Using FSC Certified Wood as feedstock, this method creates pure glycolic acid without harmful byproducts.

Environmental benefits and certifications

  • USDA Certified Biobased product verification
  • 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
  • Formaldehyde-free production process
  • Complete biodegradability

Applications and quality standards

The Ontario-based facility produces high-quality glycolic acid for multiple applications:

  • Adhesive manufacturing
  • Protective coatings
  • Polymer production
  • Cosmetic formulations

Leading the circular economy movement

Phycus Biotechnologies contributes to Ontario’s growing biotechnology sector through its commitment to green chemistry. The company’s process creates a closed carbon cycle, where the product begins as atmospheric CO2 and naturally returns to the atmosphere upon biodegradation.

Quality assurance

Unlike traditional manufacturers, Phycus Biotechnologies’ production method eliminates common impurities such as sulfates and dichloroacetic acid, ensuring a cleaner final product for all applications.
