Socially responsibleFocusing on processing and applicationsThe oleochemicals & allied products industry is the ultimate re-cycler. Not only does it use raw materials that replenish tmeselves in the natural biological cycle, but it also makes valuable use of by-products from other industries such as meat processing, fish processing and paper-making. Interestingly, the re-cycling of paper to save trees relies on oleochemicals to remove the unwanted printing ink ! Modern chemical process technology turns a raw material like tallow or palm oil into oleochemicals with a wide range of applications. This makes optimal use of what nature has already provided. The hydrocarbon chains provided by these replenishable raw materials are non-polluting, because they decompose readily, due to their biological origin. |
