Sustainability Benefits
PEOPLE
SAFE USE, TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION
- Free of hazardous material (label-free replacement alternative), i.e. maintains and promotes the health of people
ADDRESSING MEGATRENDS AND SOCIETAL TRENDS
- Reflects trend to towards using renewable feedstock instead of fossil fuel based ingredients to reduce CO2 emissions
- Free of hazardous material: suitable as label-free replacement solution
- Supports less residuals while gaining higher crop yields for safe and affordable food
PLANET
- Renewable share of 95-98% (glycerol and coconut fatty acid)
- Available in RSPO Mass Balance quality
- Enables recycling by partial use of Glycerol (waste product from the biodiesel production)
- Reduced effects on aquatic life, i.e. no environmental labeling
- Allows substitution of tallow amines and fatty alcohol ethoxylates
- Inherently biodegradable (42% in 28 days according to OECD 301 B)
PERFORMANCE
INTEGRATED SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
- Offering of a complete support package, including design and development of tailor-made formulations, seminars, trainings and adjuvant profiling
- Attaching importance to value chain collaboration
PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
- Improves efficiency of the agrochemical formulation in the use phase
- Highly plant compatible
- Multifunctional use as wetting agent which enhances pesticide uptake and allows formulations without hazard labeling (non-eye irritating)
