We
believe in green
Welcome to
the India Glycols website.
India Glycols is a leading public listed
company that manufactures bulk, specialty and performance
chemicals and natural gums, spirits and nutraceuticals. It
is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 22000 certified
company.
Our company holds the distinction of being the only green
petrochemical company of its kind. It is the first and only
company in the world to have commercialised the production
of ethylene oxide, its derivatives and glycols from renewable
agricultural resources, namely molasses or sugar cane.
We believe in green. Not only have we adopted several green
technologies, we continuously work to evolve new green methods,
materials, innovative technologies and systems to meet the
specific requirements of global clients.
Our aim is to be at the forefront of efforts against global
threats such as global warming, stratospheric ozone depletion,
resource depletion, bioaccumulation and persistent chemicals.
To do this, we have implemented several green methodologies,
including:
 |
New solutions
and products made via the green route, ie, from raw materials
that are renewable resources |
|
Novel technologies,
including super critical technology for nutraceuticals.
We use super critical carbon dioxide as a green solvent
during extraction processes |
|
Novel catalysts and
process improvements |
|
Separation
and post-refining technologies |
|
Energy-efficient, renewable
energy and water conservation projects |
|
A focus
on improving sustainability, by looking at energy usage,
carbon footprints and life cycle assessment of products |
At India Glycols, we work towards lowering our impact on
the planet by reducing:
|
Use of raw materials
and non-renewable resources (for instance, by recycling
carbon dioxide used as a solvent) |
|
Product toxicity |
|
Wastes and emissions
during manufacture |
|
Risk and hazards from
manufacturing |
|
Environmental impact
of products |
Even our administrative processes are green; we have implemented
SAP ERP solutions to achieve paperless work and minimise time
frames and paper usage.
We believe that the green movement is on the rise with more
and more people joining it each year. We are proud of being
a green petrochemical company with innovative technologies
and a vision of long-term sustainability.
“India Glycols relies on breakthroughs in green technologies.
