Sustainability
In 2017, Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division successfully commercialized ECO-DEHCH, an eco-friendly plasticizer. Plasticizers help make plastics more flexible and less brittle, but traditional plasticizers can have harmful effects on humans and the environment. ECO-DEHCH addresses these issues and makes plastics safer to handle and recycle.
Hanwha Solutions' phthalate-free plasticizer Eco-DEHCH offers answer to
Eco-DEHCH is one of the most recognized phthalate-free plasticizer developed by a research team at Hanwha Solutions’ Chemical Division, providing eco-friendly alternative for hazardous dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and less-harmful but less-effective terephthalate like dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP).
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
Green Polymer Additives | Emery Oleochemicals

Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Bioplasticizers such as epoxidized plant oils, cardanol, citrates and Isorbide esters are derived from further modifications of oils and triglyceride, starch and cellulose, citric acids and...
- Are biodegradable plastics eco-friendly?
- The first is biomass plastics which are made from natural resources such as plants and the second is biodegradable plastics which are decomposed by enzymes in the natural environment. Their study has been focusing on eco-friendly polysaccharide-based plastics, because polysaccharides are naturally abundant and biodegradable.
- What are natural biodegradable plasticizers?
- Natural biodegradable plasticizers can be isolated from the agro products and litters that are cost-effective, sustainable, and huge abundant. Several natural plasticizers originate from agricultural products like trees, oleaginous plants, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as their waste .
- Where do natural plasticizers come from?
- Several natural plasticizers originate from agricultural products like trees, oleaginous plants, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as their waste . Utilizing bio-based wastes as natural plasticizers, various polymers and materials have been tested.
- What are biodegradable thermoplastics & plasticizers?
- To overcome these problems, researchers began to focus on biodegradable thermoplastics and plasticizers. Plasticizers is a highly branched polysaccharide stored in plants as an alternative to currently used non-biodegradable plasticizing compounds.
- Why are biodegradable plasticizers important?
- Leachable plasticizers made of petroleum are causing growing environmental and health concerns because they are so dangerous to the environment. Therefore, searching for novel biodegradable plasticizers is of increasing interest of researchers across different domains. So, there is a need to develop bio-based plasticizers from natural sources.
- What is the difference between green chemicals and plastic products?
- Traditionally, plastic products were produced from raw materials obtained through refining petroleum. Green chemicals are plastic products made from non-fossil raw materials, not used to be made from petroleum . ENEOS is working on the following two solutions in particular. What are the needs for green chemicals by companies using plastic products?
