Reinach, July 1, 2020 – Evolva (SIX:EVE), the Swiss biotech company, announced today that a 15-day public review period for nootkatone started in the US. This is a further step in the registration process.
The public review period comes after the acceptance of all the studies submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and allows the general public to share comments on nootkatone with the government agency.
Upon completion of the public notice period, the company expects the EPA to complete the registration of nootkatone quickly thereafter.
