Coty has announced that it has started production of the world' first globally distributed fragrances made using carbon-captured ethanol. Production began at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Granollers, Spain in mid-January, ahead of schedule. The first Coty fragrances made using this new ethanol will reach stores in the coming months.

Coty is making these fragrances using CarbonSmart™ ethanol produced by partner LanzaTech, a leading supplier of sustainable ingredients that manufactures ethanol by capturing and fermenting carbon emitted by industrial activity before it is released to the atmosphere.

Coty has also revealed that it is ahead of schedule on its goal to integrate sustainable ethanol into the majority of its fragrance portfolio by 2023.
