Jayant’s biobased additives for lubricants

Written by Shaimaa El-Fayyoumy on 25 March 2021Time to read: 1 minute

The world relies heavily on petroleum-based products, but sometimes they would end up in the environment, causing severe environmental pollution and hazards. Therefore, our partner Jayant found an innovative, sustainable solution: additives for bio-based lubricants based on castor oil. This product is biodegradable and nontoxic for society as well as the environment.

Renewable energy

Next to the fact that sustainable additives for bio-lubricants are biodegradable and nontoxic, Jayant is also focusing on the renewable carbon initiative. For example, part of the electrical energy is supplied from Jayant's wind turbines. They also have processes in place that enable Jayant to reuse the water, and the water released is suitably treated to meet all acceptable norms of the effluent.

Successful cooperation leading to a sustainable future
