Eco-Sustainability: Every Drop Counts

Natural guar gum is extracted from the inner part of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) seeds. The guar plant itself is an abundant, renewable, annual legume that requires very little rainwater. Further down the line, Lamberti developed ESAFLOR® ZERO-X Technology for the functionalization of the natural gum: we minimize industrial water consumption, with a sustainable and water-saving process.
