Palm oil is criticized. Justifiably! The environmental impact and the social conditions of palm oil production are a problem. However, simply replacing palm oil with other vegetable oils is not a solution – because that is often even worse for the environment. Alternatives like coconut, sunflower, or rapeseed oil require significantly more land and would thus cause even higher greenhouse gas emissions. So, the problem is not just the use of palm oil, but especially the considerable consumption in all areas of our lives.
Therefore, the solution is the most economical use of this valuable resource and intensified research into truly more sustainable alternatives. For the performance of detergents and cleaning agents, palm oil-based surfactants are currently indispensable. We have not yet found the perfect solution and use palm oil in as small quantities as possible and only where absolutely necessary: This palm oil is RSPO-certified and was produced according to strict ecological & social criteria!
