Transforming the Chemical Industry with Pro-Environment Solutions

Traditionally, the chemical industry has been associated with a significant environmental footprint and a heavy reliance on virgin fossil raw materials. At Perstorp, we are leading a shift away from these practices by championing the use of renewable and recycled raw materials based on a mass balance approach with chemical and physical traceability. Our comprehensive portfolio of Pro-Environment Solutions exemplifies this transformation, offering businesses sustainable alternatives that help reduce dependency on fossil resources and gain a competitive edge in the market.

Perstorp’s Solutions for Reducing the Industry’s Carbon Footprint

In recent years, we have dedicated ourselves to expanding our Pro-Environment solutions portfolio. Thanks to the mass balance concept, Pro-Environment solutions are equivalent in quality and consistency to the fossil versions. These innovative products are designed to minimize carbon footprints across the entire value chain and support the sustainable sourcing of renewable and recycled raw materials. Our Pro-Environment products are chemically identical to their fossil-based counterparts, ensuring no compromise in quality or performance. The key difference lies in the raw materials, which are derived from renewable or recycled sources instead of virgin fossil fuels. For instance, we utilize raw materials such as biogas, biomethanol, bioacetaldehyde, and biopropylene.

What Makes Perstorp’s Pro-Environment Solutions a More Sustainable Choice?

Our Pro-Environment Solutions enable the replacement of virgin fossil raw materials across various applications and market segments. These solutions include a wide range of polyols, acids, and alcohols, all boasting a significantly reduced product carbon footprint compared to their fossil-based equivalents. When accounting for the biogenic CO2 uptake from renewable/recycled raw materials, some of these products achieve a negative product carbon footprint from cardle to the Perstorp gate. These Pro-Environment solutions set the benchmark for low-carbon footprint chemicals without compromising on the quality and performance standards synonymous with our brand.

The transparency and traceability of our Pro-Environment Solutions are validated through the ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach. This certification ensures that all renewable and recycled raw materials meet high sustainability standards across the entire value chain, from the point of origin to end-consumer product. Additionally, our mass balance approach includes both chemical and physical traceability, providing a real connection between the raw materials and the end products. Our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculations are also ISCC PLUS-certified, updated, and audited annually, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining rigorous sustainability standards.
