Why enzymes?

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?

The benefits of production by means of enzymatic esterification:

Higher efficiency & product quality by
better use of raw materials to keep the
integrity
Product carbon footprint reduction
of 13% (non-RSPO) and 20% (RSPO palm oil origin). 
60% waste reduction because of less side streams
Increased process safety by switching
to a solvent-free process, reducing working temperature & pressure and
using non-hazardous biocatalyst

Let's ACT now for a greener future

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.
