Nouryon announced that it is now certified to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification standard ISCC PLUS for the production of green ethylene oxide, ethanolamines, ethylene amines, and the surfactants derived from these raw materials at its site in Stenungsund, Sweden.

“We are pleased to serve our customers by supplying key building blocks such as green ethanolamines and ethylene amines based on sustainably sourced raw materials to contribute to lowering our customers’ product carbon footprint,” said Sirpa Engman, VP of intermediates at Nouryon. “This announcement, in addition to our recent launch of green monochloroacetic acid (MCA), demonstrates our continued dedication to delivering sustainable solutions for our customers.”

Ethylene oxide, ethanolamines, and ethylene amines are key building blocks in the production of surfactants used in applications including cleaning, personal care, crop protection, oilfield, paper, and textile manufacturing.

The company is also a leading global monochloroacetic acid (MCA) supplier, having become the first to produce and achieve ISCC PLUS certification for green MCA, derived from sustainably sourced raw materials at its site in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.
