Throughout the convention, Cepsa Química is holding meetings with the main companies in the North American Homecare industry. In these meetings, Cepsa Química explains the specific technical characteristics of NextLab Low Carbon and how it meets the current demands of consumers of these cleaning products thanks to the fact that detergents made with this type of sustainable LAB reduce their impact on the atmosphere without the need for a new formulation, which allows them to increase the sustainability indexes throughout the value chain.
With the commercial launch of NextLab Low Carbon, Cepsa Química continues its commitment to making the Home Care Industry more sustainable and contributing to the decarbonization of the North American market.
