How Simreka Reduces Time-to-Market for Sustainable Products

Empowering Product Managers & Sustainability Teams with AI-Powered R&D Acceleration

As companies across industries embrace sustainability, the pressure to bring green, compliant, and high-performing products to market is greater than ever. Consumers demand it. Regulators expect it. Investors reward it. But delivering sustainable products under traditional R&D frameworks is slow, costly, and reactive.

Simreka offers a transformative solution—an AI-powered simulation platform that helps organizations reduce product development timelines by up to 50% while improving sustainability and regulatory alignment.

This white paper explores how Simreka supports product and sustainability teams by:

  1. Speeding up formulation screening

  2. Integrating regulatory intelligence

  3. Enhancing ESG reporting and traceability

  4. Providing actionable product insights earlier in the lifecycle

1. The ESG & Compliance Challenge

Market Context

Product managers and ESG teams today face a complex landscape:

  1. Stricter regulatory frameworks (REACH, GHS, TSCA, EU Green Deal)

  2. Consumer demand for natural, biodegradable, and low-impact products

  3. Investor focus on ESG metrics and green innovation

  4. Supply chain volatility affecting ingredient availability

This creates a dual pressure: reduce time-to-market, while raising sustainability performance. Traditional tools—like spreadsheets, manual lookups, or basic formulation software—fail to meet the challenge.

2. Simreka’s Platform: Fast, Intelligent, Sustainable R&D

How Simreka Helps

Simreka is an AI-first platform that enables product teams to:

  1. Rapidly screen thousands of sustainable formulation combinations

  2. Predict product properties and performance using simulations

  3. Flag regulatory risks and sustainability gaps early

  4. Generate compliance-ready documentation instantly

  5. Reuse and learn from prior R&D efforts across the organization

Features that Drive Sustainability Innovation:

Reverse Simulation

  1. Input your desired product specs (e.g. pH, viscosity, biodegradability)

  2. Simreka suggests compliant, sustainable ingredient blends

  3. Filters by region, regulation, and target sustainability score

Knowledge Retrieval

  1. AI-powered semantic search across patents, SDS, literature, internal reports

  2. Find precedents, successful formulations, and substitutes in minutes

Regulatory Mapping

  1. In-built support for global chemical regulations

  2. Flags hazardous, restricted, or non-compliant ingredients before lab trials

  3. Automatically generates compliance snapshots for internal review or external audits

Sustainability Intelligence

  1. Built-in material sustainability scoring

  2. Tracks parameters like carbon impact, renewability, toxicity, and biodegradability

  3. Facilitates science-based claims for eco-labeling and ESG reporting

3. Impact: 50% Faster Time-to-Market

Case Example:

A mid-sized personal care brand used Simreka to reformulate their liquid detergent line to meet EU eco-label standards.
