Redefining Clean: How Probiotic Group and Syensqo Developed Sustainable Laundry Detergents Using Microbial-Based Technology

Context

In a world where environmental consciousness and performance must go hand in hand, Probiotic Group Luxembourg S.A. is leading the charge. In partnership with Syensqo, our team has developed next-generation sustainable laundry detergents powered by probiotic science—a breakthrough that merges microbiology with household care.

Who We Are

Probiotic Group Luxembourg (PBGL) is a biotechnology company specialized in microbial-based formulations across sectors like cleaning, cosmetics, pet care, and wastewater treatment. Our expertise lies in developing eco-friendly solutions that are effective, sustainable, and scientifically proven.

Together with Syensqo – on of our partners in advanced chemistry – we’ve validated and optimized microbial-based laundry detergents that meet rigorous performance standards while addressing environmental concerns.

The Science Behind Our Probiotic Laundry Detergents (MBLPs)

Our Microbial-Based Laundry Products (MBLPs) use Bacillus probiotic strains to revolutionize how we think about cleaning fabrics. These smart microbes don’t just clean during the wash cycle—they continue working after the machine stops.

Key Innovations:

Immediate & Long-Term Stain Removal: MBLPs outperform conventional detergents in removing tough stains like red wine, chocolate, mustard, and cooking grease—both instantly and over time.

Probiotic Fabric Adhesion: Our probiotics attach to fabric during washing and remain dormant until moisture and organic residues trigger their activity.

Enzymatic Breakdown: Once activated, they release a cocktail of enzymes (proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, etc.) that break down complex stains efficiently.

Odor Control: Independent lab tests showed our probiotics reduce odor-causing compounds (including sweat-related sulfur molecules) below detectable levels—leaving clothes fresher for longer.

A Sustainable Detergent That Works Harder

MBLPs are more than just effective—they’re eco-friendly by design:

No harsh chemicals needed

Enzyme-powered biodegradation

Extended freshness reduces washing frequency

Preserves fabric quality, reducing textile waste

Five (5) stable probiotic-technology laundry detergent formulations have been developed with numerous raw materials from different suppliers including Syensqo, and according to the ISO 16128 standard we reach a naturality index of up to 96,50%.

Backed by Science, Enabled by Partnership

Thanks to our collaboration with Syensqo, we’ve ensured the data and formulation integrity needed to scale these solutions. Rigorous testing—including CFU counts, GC-MS analysis, and real-world washing trials—proved that probiotic-based detergents are not only feasible but superior in many aspects.

The Future of Laundry Is Microbial

Consumers today are seeking products that combine efficacy, safety, and sustainability. MBLPs check all three boxes. With every wash, our probiotics offer more than clean clothes—they contribute to a cleaner planet.

At Probiotic Group, we’re not just innovating—we’re transforming the way the world thinks about clean.
