Title: ECO Tween Series Datasheet

ECO Tween surfactants are available as part of Croda’s 100% renewable, 100% bio-based ECO Range of surfactants. The ECO Tween Series is manufactured using ethylene oxide derived from bioethanol, resulting in 100% renewable surfactants with performance identical to petro-based options. These 100% bio-based products eliminate the need to choose between high performance and fully renewable ingredients. By using an alternative route to ethylene oxide with bioethanol from biomass sources, it significantly increases the bio-based content of ethoxylated products and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, the ECO Tween series is manufactured with renewable energy. Sustainability informs and guides our development strategies and is an integral part of our business. The ECO Tween Series addresses the consumer demand for more sustainable products and aids our customers in meeting their own sustainability goals, whilst delivering high performance products to the market.
