In related Ciba news, the company signed an agreement with PURE Bioscience (San Diego, CA) to market and sell that company’s silver dihydrogen citrate antimicrobial as a preservative and biocide for the global personal care, household, and industrial markets. PURE cited Ciba’s global reach, well-established customer base, and commitment to innovation, as reasons it partnered with the company. PURE positions its product as environmentally friendly on the basis that it’s created through a zero-discharge production process that reportedly creates no waste or by-products.
