Oleon has built an enzymatic esterification facility as part of the INCITE project to assist in the future of low-carbon chemical manufacturing. This is real gamechanger as the innovative technology is new in Europe on industrial scale. By moving our product manufacturing from a chemical catalytic system to one that embraces enzymatic esterification, during both up-and downstream processing, we are enabling a wide range of benefits for brands looking to develop greener products. Enzymes are nature’s catalysts which means they are from natural origin, offer high specificity with low temperature & pressure, are a non-hazardous biocatalyst, reduce side stream processing waste and are fully recyclable and reusable.
So why not use the best that nature has to give?
To play its part in building a more sustainable chemical industry, Oleon partnered with the INCITE project.
The project involves the use of enzymes to make biobased products in a diverse variety of industries. INCITE aims to affect change by developing novel upstream and downstream processing technology.
FACTS & FIGURES:
Our products produced by means of enzymatic esterification, will be identified by the logo ACT. It represents a range of products in which current product qualities are augmented with all advantages through enzymatic esterification. Enzyme-based production is an example of greener production processes, one of the three impact areas Oleon is focussing on. The ACT range is a new step in our strategy of Serving the Earth and is the result of our permanent focus on innovation as a driver for safe & sustainable solutions.
