Tutto comincia da qui.
Understanding the role of carbon atoms in the perfume and odour sector is fundamental to understand how to make this sector more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
To simplify, it’s enough to say that olfactory notes - from a chemical point of view - are nothing more than oxygen, carbon, nitrogen atoms an just a few other elements bound together.
Given the vital importance of the carbon cycle for the planet, it is clear that using as much carbon as possible from renewable sources is the first step towards making our industry more environmentally sustainable.
This is why, in its path to reviewing and lowering carbon use, the Scent Of Lombardy supply chain has acted on one idea: that of using molecules that already exist as secondary streams of other processes rather than molecules from new fossil-based inputs.
Not only that. We use the concept of Atom Economy, of Chiral Atom Economy, and the principles of green chemistry and organocatalysis, applied to the best sustainable production technologies on the market. And then we focus on biotechnology, another way of harnessing renewable carbon.
This is how Scent Of Lombardy can define itself as driven by innovation in the field of perfumes and cosmetics, capable of a considerable impact on the final prices of fragrances.
