Born from Science.
Driven by Purpose.
NorFalk is a Danish industrial biotech start-up developing sustainable chemicals via biocatalysis, utilising nature's own processes to manufacture the next generation of products.
Surfactants for a
Post-Petrochemical World
The surfactant industry is at an inflection point. Growing regulatory pressure, consumer expectations, and climate commitments are forcing brands to rethink their ingredient supply chains.
NorFalk exists to provide a credible, scalable alternative: bio-based surfactants that do not ask manufacturers to trade performance for conscience. We demonstrate that industrial chemistry can be simultaneously high-performance, commercially viable, and genuinely sustainable.
