As an oleochemical company PETER GREVEN has been using renewable carbon ever since. The oleochemical industry is one of the oldest parts of the bio-based economy using plant oils and animal rendered fats that replenish themselves in the natural biological cycle. Additionally, oleochemical products serve as additives – e.g. for paper applications – that enhance the recyclability of several products. Using high-volume plant oils and side-streams from other industries and by enabling recycling for biobased products, the oleochemistry is a crucial part of the Bioeconomy and the Circular Economy.
We would like to support the full switch to renewable carbon and believe this can only be achieved in valuable partnership across industries and along the value chain.
