EcoSphere® biolatex® binders are in commercial use around the world. They are providing cost savings and price stability, while improving quality, productivity and performance as well as delivering environmental benefits. Following the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, EcoSphere is designed and manufactured without leaving a sizable carbon footprint or generating harmful by-products.
Bio-based binder systems that work
EcoSphere bio-based binders have been in production with many of the paper and paperboard industry's largest manufacturers since 2008. To date, we have sold more than 100 million pounds (or 45,000 dry metric tons) of EcoSphere biopolymer products to customers around the world. We offer three commercial grades of EcoSphere, each of which is engineered for specific customer requirements.

Improve runnability, printability and coating efficiency
EcoSphere biolatex binders enable low viscosity at a comparably high shear rate. This combination has been proven to help manufacturers boost runnability and machine throughput for better line utilization.
EcoSphere has also been proven to help customers improve product performance in paper products and can increase:
- Opacity
- Brightness
- Whiteness
- Stiffness
- Binder strength
EcoSphere has also enabled clients to reduce or eliminate rheology modifiers and thickeners in their formulation, resulting in overall cost reductions and formulation simplification.
Stabilize your supply chain costs with renewable ingredients
EcoSphere is a bio-based latex binder made from renewable feedstock such as carbohydrates and proteins. Compatible with SB latex, formaldehyde and PVP, EcoSphere exhibits superior performance characteristics at a lower cost. Also, since EcoSphere is often shipped as a powder, we can deliver significant transportation cost savings compared to liquid binders.
