Features & Benefits

100% Bio-based ECO Range

Sustainability is in our DNA. It is integral to everything we do. From the raw materials we source and the way we use them, to the ingredients we create, we believe in being a responsible company. We are pleased to introduce our new ECO range of 100% bio-based surfactants. Over 50 products make up the ECO range made by using bio-based ethylene oxide (EO) which we manufacture from biomass ethanol. Coupling the use of bio-based EO with the high proportion of renewable energy used at the manufacturing plant, leads to a significant reduction in carbon footprint for the ECO product range. Formulators can now access 100% renewable surfactants without sacrificing performance to help meet increasingly demanding sustainability targets.

The new range of ECO surfactants

  • 100% renewable
  • Performance identical to petrochemicalbased options
  • Lower carbon footprint than petrochemically derived ingredients
  • USDA BioPreferred®Program third party certification
  • RSPO Supply Chain Certified via Mass Balance
  • Made using renewable energy
ECO Range Multi-layered Renewable Benefits

The ECO range provides multi-layered renewable benefits and value for our customers. Not only will formulators be able to replace petrochemical-based non-ionic analogs while experiencing “zero sacrifice” in performance, they will be able to replace less-effective “natural” market alternatives as well.

Bio-based & Sustainable

  • Sustainable palm sourcing, RSPO supply chain certified via Mass Balance†
  • Biomass raw material for 100% bio-based ethylene oxide and derivatives

Low Carbon Footprint

  • Made using energy sourced from landfill gas and solar energy
  • Cradle-to-gate carbon footprint

ECO Range

  • 100% bio-based surfactants

Community Benefit

  • 30 new full time employees
  • Reduced rail freight miles of highly flammable petrochemical EO from the Gulf of Mexico

Green Labeling

  • EPA Safer Choice recognized for biodegradability and low toxicity
  • USDA BioPreferred® third party certification of C14 measurements

Technical Details & Test Data

Improved Bio-based Content

Chemically equivalent to petrochemical-based ethoxylates, Table 1 shows the improvement in bio-based content for key surfactant chemistries when produced using our bio-based EO.

Surfactant Bio-based content
with synthetic EO (%)
Bio-based content
with Bio-EO (%)
Laureth-6 50 100
Laureth-7 46 100
PEG-40 castor oil 42 100
Polysorbate 20 31 100
Trideceth-9 0 58
C9-C11 + 6EO 0 55

Certified Bio-based Content

Our new ECO range helps formulators meet renewability targets. Table 2 lists the BioPreferred bio-based content requirement of a finished formulation under a product category. Replacing petrochemical based surfactants for ECO range products will improve bio-based content of the formulation. All ECO products are being registered on the USDA BioPreferred Program.

Product Category % Bio-based
Bathroom Cleaner 74
Bathroom Cleaner 58
Laundry Product 34
