Palsgaard’s Einar ® polymer additives are exclusively derived from animal-free and edible plant sources. This includes RSPO certified segregated palm oil – which provides the greatest yield per hectare – as well as rapeseed, sunflower, coconut and other vegetable oils. In fact, they are sold as ‘dual use’ plant-based additives with worldwide regulatory food-contact approvals. Moreover, while they are highly effective in comparably low concentrations, they match or exceed the functional performance of many conventional synthetic additives, such as ethoxylated amines or amides. This can also help to minimise the overall additive concentration in polymer formulations. Produced in CO 2 -neutral factories In chemical terms, Einar ® plant-based polymer additives are glycerol and polyglycerol esters made exclusively from vegetable fatty acids – no animal derivatives. Produced in CO 2 -neutral factories, they have a perfect fit in innovative new responsible packaging solutions and are an excellent drop-in replacement for fossil-based additives in existing polymer formulations. With 100 percent renewable content, they avoid fossil depletion, and by extending the shelf-life of packaged products they also contribute to the reduction of food losses in a hungry world nearing 10 billion people by 2050. 5
