Oleon explains why enzymatic technology is central to its vision for a future where chemistry is not a source of pollution but a driver of sustainability – with safer, cleaner, and more energy-efficient alternatives to traditional methods.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation. Climate change, resource scarcity, and shifting consumer values are reshaping industries across the globe. Among the impacted sectors is the chemical industry, traditionally reliant on energy-intensive processes and non-renewable resources. Today, the call for sustainability is louder than ever, and the chemical sector must evolve to meet this challenge.
The future of chemistry is increasingly being shaped not by harsher reactions or synthetic shortcuts, but by the intelligent and respectful use of nature's own tools. One of the most promising innovations driving this shift is enzymatic esterification, a process that aligns closely with the principles of green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing.
This technique represents more than just scientific progress; it is becoming a strategic pillar for companies aiming to foster a cleaner, safer, and more responsible chemical industry. Through ongoing research, such as life cycle sustainability assessments (LCSA) of compounds like isopropyl palmitate, the environmental, economic, and social advantages of enzymatic esterification are being clearly demonstrated.
