Unilever and Nufarm, a global agriculture innovator, are working to develop and cultivate a new variety of sugar cane to produce higher yields of sustainable oils for cleaning products. Plant oils used in personal care solutions are usually solely sourced from the seeds and fruits. The sugar cane biomass oil will be a source of fatty acids, a core base ingredient for Unilever’s laundry detergents and beauty and personal care products. It is derived from all the plant material, including the leaves and stems.
