Bio-based dispersants are sustainable alternatives to traditional petrochemical dispersants used in industries such as coatings, detergents, and agrochemicals. Derived from renewable resources like polysaccharides, lignin, and fatty acids, these compounds offer reduced toxicity and environmental footprint. Advances in enzymatic synthesis, fermentation, and green chemistry are driving cost-effective production. Applications span oil spill mitigation, pigment dispersion in paints, and emulsification in food products. The push for regulatory compliance and consumer demand for eco-friendly products are further catalyzing innovation in this field, making bio-based dispersants a key element in the circular economy.
