CPL Aromas’ EcoBoost has 90% lower carbon footprint than standard fragrances, study claims

19 Jan 2022 --- Fragrance house CPL Aromas has revealed the results of a 2021 study that found the manufacturing process for its EcoBoost line of fragrances generates a significantly lower carbon footprint than that of other scents. EcoBoost is a unique “concentrated fragrance technology” that increases scents' intensity, reducing the amount of fragrance used.

“We have included many data points across our chain, and the benefits are clear: EcoBoost fragrances will reduce our customers’ emissions by an average of 90%,” says Charlotte Purcell, group technical director at CPL Aromas.

The UK-based company claims using EcoBoost means products require less packaging than similar technologies, reducing transportation and disposal costs.

This means the scents are more cost-effective, and using them in product formulation boosts products’ sustainability credentials, says CPL Aromas.

According to CPL Aromas, using EcoBoost during product formulation allows creators to make products that require a dose ten times lower than standard fragrances. 

In particular, using EcoBoost in fine fragrances reduces the amount of alcohol needed. This means fewer materials sourcing for products, which can be created using fewer ingredients. 

CPL Aromas says this also means less labeling is needed.

“EcoBoost will fundamentally shift the way fragranced products are developed and made, to truly support a more sustainable future for everyone,” says Angela Stavrevska, creative director and perfumer at CPL Aroma, on the company's website. 

The EcoBoost line has multiple variants, including EcoBoost for solid bases and EcoBoost Plus, a more concentrated version of EcoBoost technology allowing fragrances to use up to 20 times lower dosing than average. This technology drives down costs even more.

The range includes thousands of scents for various fine fragrances and household and personal care use.

Sustainability at each step of the manufacturing process has emerged as a key factor consumers consider. Green, functional fragrances and “conscious perfumery” are incredibly trendy among Gen Z, as PersonalCareInsights noted in December.

Recently, Blue California unveiled its sustainable nerolidol, produced via a “high-yielding” fermentation process.
