In July 2023, B.A.S.F.'s production site in Italy was certified according to the Rainforest Alliance Mass Balance certification scheme. This made B.A.S.F. the first company to offer certified sustainable personal care products based on coconut oil.
The certification was made possible with the partnership between BASF, Cargill, The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, a German government agency. This can be a key driving factor for Latin America oleochemicals market during the forecast period.
In September 2020, Emery Oleochemicals, a speciality chemical manufacturer, launched its new general purpose fatty acid esters product line named EMERY E.
It is a bio-based product, presented and provided as a sustainable alternative to petrochemical-based materials. It can be used for the formation of a wide range of products, including solvent, adhesive, additives, and lubricant, among others.
Oleochemicals are chemical compounds derived from animal fat, vegetable fat, or oil. These can substitute the use of petrochemicals in petroleum-based products. The production of oleochemicals is carried out through processes like hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrogenation, among other processes. These chemical compounds contain little to zero carcinogens, which makes them a safer option than any other synthetic chemical alternative.
