With our groundbreaking technology, we transform agricultural plant residues into an innovative and environmentally friendly biomaterial – bio-based, plastic-free, and compostable. A material that leaves no harmful traces. Our goal is to replace as much conventional plastic as possible – and that’s where you come in.
As Sustainable Formulation & Additives Specialist (f/m/x) – Natural Polymers, you will play a key role in developing, managing, and documenting traceless’ innovative biomaterial formulations, enabling robust scale-up from R&D to industrial production. You’ll ensure our substances, additives, and processes meet technical, sustainability, and compliance standards – paving the way for the safe, efficient, and scalable use of traceless materials across applications.
Your responsibilities:
- Maintain and update substance, additive, and formulation databases, defining acceptance criteria and reference values together with experts.
- Drive additive and formulation discovery by identifying novel sustainable functional additives, evaluating their performance in traceless materials, and establishing screening workflows to accelerate innovation and material optimization.
- Develop and manage processes for Substance Selection, including grouping by chemical properties and functionality.
- Support formulation development from R&D to industrial scale, including screening strategies, DoE planning, and risk assessments.
- Coordinate approval processes for new substances, reviewing supplier documentation (TDS, SDS) and verifying compliance with safety and sustainability requirements.
- Ensure smooth communication and data exchange between R&D, QA, and Supply Chain, supporting transfer of formulations from R&D to industrial scale.
- Provide scientific and technical advice to internal teams and external partners on substance selection and formulation optimization.
- Manage Product Development team’s documentation (SOPs, OCMs, SDS, TDS), ensuring accurate registration, coding, and version control.
