Dow Launches Bio-based Propylene Glycol Products

Dow (NYSE: DOW) has launched a new range of propylene glycol (PG) solutions featuring alternative – lower carbon, bio-based and circular – feedstocks in Europe.

Customers can now deliver end-products to a broad range of industries, such as pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food, with third-party validated sustainability benefits thanks to a mass balance approach.

This mass balance approach traces the flow of sustainable raw materials used to manufacture PG through a complex value chain and attributes it based on verifiable bookkeeping; an approach that has received ISCC PLUS certification.

Utilizing innovative technologies, three new sustainable propylene glycol product lines (Propylene Glycol RDC featuring Decarbia™, Propylene Glycol REN featuring Ecolibrium™ and Propylene Glycol CIR featuring Renuva™) will now be available in Europe and certified through ISCC PLUS:PG RDC, PG REN and PG CIR are suitable for diverse applications in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, and food.

“We recognize demand has increased for the use of renewable materials to reduce carbon and enable circularity. By applying our low carbon, bio-based, and advanced recycling technologies, we are making this a reality for PG. Our customers will benefit from the same high-quality performance with a more sustainable material,” commented Andrew Jones, global business director, Dow CAV & POPG.
