LEUNA HARZE has added an environmentally friendly alternative to the existing synthesis route based on crude oil-based polypropylene in the production of its epoxy resin: With the construction of an additional production plant and the use of glycerine, which is based on used cooking oil and fat, rapeseed and other vegetable oils, as well as by-products of biodiesel production, the raw material consumption for epoxy resin is reduced considerably and CO2 emissions are cut by up to 50%.
