Sulfotools

Christina Uth (Germany)

"Sulfotools GmbH is a German chemistry start-up that has developed an eco-friendly and cost-effective technology for the manufacturing of certain biomolecules, the Clean Peptide Technology (CPT). These so-called peptides are small proteins with various biological activities and are therefore used as active ingredients in cosmetics, therapeutics or nutrition products. Currently, tens of thousand tons of harmful organic solvents are used for chemical peptide production. Using their CPT these organic solvents can be replaced with water during production, finally combining sustainability with cost-optimization while at the same time being beneficial for humans and the environment."
