John R. Shaw, CEO of Itaconix, commented:

"Our business plan is to build a large, highly profitable specialty ingredients company around our plant-based technology platform and our ability to develop and sell high-value products from this platform. The first pillar of our business is our broad intellectual property for producing polymers around the multifunctionality of itaconic acid, which is recognized by our portfolio of 16 patent families.

"An equally important pillar to our current and future success is our rigorous process for developing and selling products that meet critical customer needs and can become key ingredients in new generations of consumer products based on safety, performance, and sustainability.

"We are pleased that our product development process is recognized by Frost & Sullivan's 2022 North American Enabling Technology Leadership Award in the Bio-Based Polymer Industry."
