Coty - LanzaTech : More Sustainable Fragrances |
|
Fragrance products to contain sustainable ethanol, created using carbon-capture technology
Coty targets a majority of its fragrance portfolio to be using carbon-captured ethanol by 2023. The planned partnership supports Coty’s ‘Beauty That Lasts’ sustainability program.
Ethanol is a core ingredient in fragrance products, enabling the efficient dispersion of the scent. Coty fragrances contain ethanol sourced from a range of natural raw materials - including sugar cane and sugar beet, which use land, water and fertilizers. This new sustainable ethanol from carbon-capture utilizes near-zero water consumption and reduces the requirement for agricultural land which, in turn, supports biodiversity.
Coty’s scientists have worked alongside LanzaTech and production partners over the past two years to develop a high-purity sustainable ethanol that is suitable for use in fragrances.
The proposed partnership with LanzaTech is an important step for Coty as it continues its journey to becoming a more circular business and creating a more sustainable and inclusive world. Coty’s ambitious ‘Beauty That Lasts’ strategy - which is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - sets out a range of time-bound targets, including a 30% reduction in absolute CO2e emissions by 2030.

Jennifer Holmgren, Chief Executive Officer of LanzaTech, said: “We are proud to be developing this partnership with Coty to show that carbon recycling can enable sustainable production of fragrances ”
Sue Y. Nabi, Chief Executive Officer of Coty, said:
“Sustainability is the ultimate driver of innovation and Coty is focused on creating outstanding products that are truly clean and green. Ethanol is the number one ingredient purchased for the fragrance category and over time this partnership with LanzaTech will significantly reduce the environmental impact of our products."

The chemicals and materials industry is going to see massive disruption in the next 20 years, and experts at Lux Research have identified startups and technologies leading the evolution of the industry. Lux published a list of top startups to watch in 2021 based on interviews with key startups pursuing chemicals and materials innovation. Lux’s experts, who evaluate companies on their technology, business strategy, leadership, and market positioning, have awarded all these companies a “Positive” or “Strong Positive” rating.
The chemicals and materials industry is being transformed by pressure on energy and feedstocks as well as new digital business models.
