A case study - The story of a low carbon product

Pripol 1006, Priplast 1838 and Priplast 3186 are high performance ingredients for the coatings and adhesives markets, manufactured at our Gouda site in the Netherlands.

These products all come from the same renewable raw material, rapeseed oil. This intrinsic sustainability benefit is enhanced by the green manufacturing processes at Gouda as the site uses bio-gas, a renewable fuel, as energy for production. The site also recycles its waste water by reverse osmosis, which purifies it for re-use as boiler feed water.

This holistic approach to sustainable manufacturing, coupled with renewable raw materials, enables us to offer products with a much lower carbon footprint than petrochemical alternatives.
