Two Years. Zero Recordables.

Locus FS just hit a major workplace safety milestone: two full years with no recordable incidents across our operations, even as we’ve tripled production capacity and scaled up commercial activity in all four core markets.

This achievement highlights more than just compliance. It proves what’s possible when safety, science, and scalable operations go hand in hand. It's part of how we build trust with our partners, our investors, and our team.

Aligning strategy with impact...

We brought our national sales force from every corner of the country to our Solon, Ohio headquarters for two days of deep collaboration.

The focus? Strengthening how we solve our customers’ biggest challenges with biobased, glycolipid and microbial innovation.

Team members from Locus Fermentation Solutions, Locus Agriculture, Locus Bio-Energy, Locus Mining and Locus Ingredients united to sharpen strategy, deepen relationships and align on delivering maximum value to customers across all markets.

They got a behind-the-scenes look at our updated biomanufacturing facilities along with a few days of storytelling, laughs and some serious teamwork.

Collaboration is how innovation takes root—and we’re just getting started.

One Locus, with one mission.

Biobased isn’t just a label...it’s a commitment to better performance, better products and a better planet.

For National Biobased Products Day, we’re celebrating our biosurfactants, which have the U.S. Department of Agriculture Certified Biobased Product label for containing 100% biobased, renewable content.

These high-performing sophorolipids help formulators create products that work harder without compromising on sustainability.

Regulatory pressure on the CASE industry is ramping up—tightening restrictions on VOCs, 1,4-dioxane, Proposition 65 chemicals, and other hazardous substances.

For formulators, this creates a challenge: how to meet stricter safety and sustainability standards without sacrificing performance.

Bio-based surfactants are a promising alternative, but many have fallen short—until now. New biosurfactants are proving that sustainability and high functionality can go hand in hand, offering solutions that comply with TSCA and meet zero-VOC goals.

The CASE for Biosurfactants: Surpassing Regulatory Hurdles and Boosting Performance with Next-Gen Formulations

02/05/2025

A new industry report highlights the rapid growth of biosurfactants, with major players investing in scaling production and expanding applications. The challenge? Reducing costs and integrating these bio-based alternatives into existing formulations.

One key takeaway: domestic production matters.

While many companies are entering the space, Locus remains the only U.S. supplier with TSCA registration to produce biosurfactants domestically—an important factor for supply chain security and regulatory compliance.

As companies explore biosurfactants as a sustainable alternative, technical expertise and supply chain readiness will be critical.
