In a world where environmental consciousness is no longer a choice but a necessity, FnF Surplus is leading the charge in redefining the fragrance and flavour industry’s approach to sustainability. Through our innovative “Lifestyle for the Environment” (LiFE) initiative, we are empowering businesses and communities to adopt eco-friendly practices that create a lasting impact.

At the heart of our mission lies the recognition that the fragrance and flavour industry often finds itself with surplus and expired raw materials, leaving companies with the dilemma of how to responsibly manage these valuable resources. Rather than letting them go to waste, FnF Surplus has developed a comprehensive solution to repurpose and recycle these materials, ensuring they find new life in a variety of applications.

Our team of experts meticulously retests the expired essential oils, evaluating their chemical and physical stability, potential contamination, and overall efficacy. Despite prolonged storage, these “essences” of plant extracts often retain 97-98% of their original properties, making them safe for use in products that are not directly consumed by humans.

Armed with this expertise, we then repurpose and recycle these essential oils, blending and distilling them to create a diverse range of odoriferous substances for agarbattis (incense sticks), air care products, and a wide array of home and hygiene items. These repurposed materials are then made available to NGOs supporting women’s self-help groups, as well as micro and cottage enterprises engaged in the manufacturing of these products.
