Creator of ecocatalysts® and biosourced molecules
At BIOINSPIR, we believe in the power of nature to build a more responsible and sustainable world.
Our molecules are synthesized by ecocatalysis®, an innovative process combining ecology and chemistry.
BIOINSPIR helps you reduce your environmental footprint
We offer our customers a new way forward: processes with reduced environmental impact and high value-added biobased molecules.
In a world of accelerating change, subject to increasingly drastic shortages, our ecocatalysts® are not simply substitutes for metallurgy-based catalysts, but new tools for a chemistry by and for nature.
Together let’s transform chemistry, molecule by molecule.

BIOINSPIR, a sustainable chemistry
BIOINSPIR’s mission is to make clean chemistry the new standard.
At BIOINSPIR we synthesize high value-added biosourced molecules with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Our ecocatalysts® are of plant origin: they are derived from the transformation of plant species that naturally accumulate the metals present in their environment.
Who is BIOINSPIR ?
In 2008, Prof. Claude Grison observed that certain plant species are capable of naturally accumulating metallic elements.
She discovered that she could take advantage of these metal-rich plants to catalyze organic synthesis processes: this was the creation of the first ecocatalyst®.
After more than 10 years of laboratory research, she founded BIOINSPIR to industrialize ecocatalysis® as a new sustainable chemistry process.
