Modify existing formula
You've invested time and money to approve the compounds that you currently use. And you know they work! We will simply start with the existing formulation and create an "ECO" version by substituting ingredients that will reduce the carbon footprint. Starting from a proven baseline, we can measure the impact of the changes while we maintain focus on performance criteria.
