GLYCOLIPIDS BY EVONIK

A rasing interest

Consumers across the world are becoming more interested in all-natural products, as part of a healthier lifestyle and their perceptions that natural offerings are safer.

The plus factor: responsibility

Consumers are more closely evaluating companies’ environmental and social responsibility.

A noticable gap

A larger number of consumers want “green” products but have difficulty accessing products that truly deliver on environmental parameters.
