CropEnergies goes chemical but biobased - PART 1

CropEnergies new business area of biobased chemicals - The alternative to fossil products: Ethyl acetate produced from renewable ethanol

Sustainable ethyl acetate produced in Europe - Solvent for numerous applications

Our mission is to provide our customers with innovative, sustainable products made from biomass. Because in order to counteract climate change, fossil raw materials must be replaced. CropEnergies is taking the next step here: sustainable ethyl acetate (acetic ester) is to be produced from renewable ethanol. Ethyl acetate is a solvent and is widely used in the production of cosmetics, flexible packaging and coatings, paints and adhesives, as well as in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

"If we want to live in a climate-friendly world, we have to change the materials we use and successively replace fossil raw materials with biomass," says Dr Stephan Meeder, CEO of CropEnergies AG.

Reduces carbon footprint - Production process is almost 100% carbon neutral

CropEnergies stands for greenhouse gas savings at all product and production levels. The new business area of biobased chemicals is also in line with this: The planned production process is almost 100% carbon neutral while delivering ethyl acetate of the highest quality.

The product offers customers an excellent opportunity to grow with the sustainability trend by significantly reducing their carbon footprint through the use of CropEnergies' ethyl acetate. At the same time, customers benefit from the security of supply and short supply routes of a European production.
