Title: Innovation in Sustainable Formulations for Home and Personal Care Applications

Abstract: With ever growing consumer awareness that humankind are currently using more ecological resources than nature can regenerate and are causing the emission of more CO2 into the atmosphere than plant life can sequester, manufacturing industries across the whole spectrum of raw material types and consumer goods made from them are striving to make their processes and products ever more sustainable. In the H&PC category this activity includes devising formulations which do not contain water or have reduced water content in order to reduce energy usage and CO2 emissions associated with transport. This presentation will highlight Innospec’s innovative approach to making examples of these sustainable formulation types using sustainable materials from our extensive portfolio of products. Mention will also be made of our other sustainability initiatives such as promoting surfactants which are 1,4-dioxane free, and our efforts to make our Performance Chemicals products free of virgin fossil derived carbon.
