Sudoc selected to receive a University of Massachusetts Amherst Core Facility Voucher
Groundbreaking chemical industry start-up will use the university’s WET Center Facility to support the growth and innovation of its powerful sustainable oxidation catalyst.
Sudoc, a new chemical industry company committed to environmental sustainability, has been selected by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst for its Core Facility Voucher Program. The core facilities provided by the university includes access to a wide range of services including cutting-edge technologies, high-end instrumentation, and technical support for research. As part of the program, Sudoc will be able to utilize the WET Center Facility at UMass Amherst and take advantage of the more than 90 core equipment facilities located on five UMass campuses. The state-sponsored program seeks to support small and medium-size companies (SMEs) to achieve “job growth creation”, innovation, and economic development.
Sudoc will harness the benefits of the program to expand the development of its NewTAML® chemistry, a platform technology which has remarkable oxidation capabilities. TAML® catalysts replace and eliminate toxic chemicals in a wide range of cleaning and environmental treatment applications. This game-changing chemistry sets apart Sudoc in the industry as a different kind of chemical company with a mission to outperform toxic chemicals to remove them from our planet.
This selection comes after Sudoc was recently awarded by Fast Company’s for its 2022 World Changing Ideas program. In November 2021, Sudoc was named a Top Ten Start-Up to Watch by leading industry publication, Chemical & Engineering News. These recent awards demonstrate the energy and momentum being built by the company.
A Founder and CEO of Sudoc, Roger Berry, states “We are honored to be working with the UMASS Amherst and to be included among a pioneering group of startups and companies focused on solutions for a sustainable future. Sudoc’s sustainable chemistry platform is the foundation for a series of brands – Dot, Neat, and Umo to start -- that promise to change how we think about cleaning products, water treatment solutions, waste pharmaceutical disposal, pesticides, and a range of other applications. This chemistry truly has the ability to reduce the chemical burden of our planet and every household. We are excited to continue advancing our efforts and focusing on our mission.”
Sudoc is in business to put chemistry in balance with nature. Formed in 2020 with operations in Cambridge, MA, Charlottesville, VA, and Pittsburgh, PA, Sudoc is committed to developing products that reduce chemical burden in a range of applications. Sudoc is a mission-driven company, and its shareholding structure reflects that commitment. Sudoc’s largest shareholder is a pair of Trusts established by Dr. Collins and Dr. Pete Myers, a Sudoc Founder and Co-Author of Our Stolen Future, that as the company grows will fund research into the problem of endocrine disrupting chemicals—toxic chemicals that disrupt the hormone systems of living beings, reducing human fertility, increasing disease states, and adversely affecting developmental behavior. Our Stolen Future was one of the first books to link our planet’s chemical enterprise with the problem of endocrine disruption.
