Formaldehyde is one of the most widely used chemicals in industrial manufacturing. It is cheap, effective, and has been used for decades in the production of amino acids and other specialty chemicals. But it comes with serious downsides that manufacturers and buyers are increasingly choosing not to accept.
Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen. It creates risks for workers in production facilities. It generates hazardous waste that must be carefully managed. And for buyers who sell into regulated markets or carry strong sustainability commitments, sourcing from a supplier that uses formaldehyde can create reputational and compliance risks.
This is why we made the decision to eliminate formaldehyde entirely from our manufacturing process — and why we believe this choice represents a genuine step forward for responsible chemistry.
Eliminating formaldehyde from chemical manufacturing is not a small adjustment. It requires redesigning core production processes, qualifying alternative chemical pathways, and investing in the infrastructure needed to support a cleaner approach.
In the case of amino acid production, traditional synthesis routes often rely on formaldehyde as a building block or reaction agent. Moving away from this requires identifying alternative starting materials that can achieve the same chemical outcome without the associated hazards.
Our team spent years developing and validating a production method that achieves the same purity levels and batch consistency as conventional methods — without the use of formaldehyde at any stage of the process. Every batch we produce can be verified as formaldehyde-free through our standard testing and documentation.
Cleaner Safety Profiles
Products made without formaldehyde carry fewer residual hazards. For pharmaceutical and personal care applications in particular, this means a cleaner safety profile and easier regulatory documentation.
Stronger ESG Positioning
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements are increasingly shaping procurement decisions — especially in Europe. Sourcing from a formaldehyde-free manufacturer helps your organisation demonstrate tangible progress on the environmental and safety dimensions of your ESG commitments.
Simpler Waste Management
Formaldehyde-based production generates hazardous waste streams that require specialised treatment and disposal. A formaldehyde-free process reduces this burden, contributing to lower environmental impact and simplified compliance with waste regulations.
Worker Safety
Eliminating formaldehyde from our facilities directly improves the health and safety conditions for everyone who works there. This aligns with our broader commitment to operating a responsible and ethical manufacturing environment.
Responsible chemistry is not a trend. It is a fundamental shift in how the global chemical industry thinks about the relationship between manufacturing, environmental impact, and human health.
Green chemistry principles, first formalised in the 1990s, call on manufacturers to design chemical processes that reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous substances. Formaldehyde-free manufacturing is a direct application of these principles — choosing safer chemistry not because it is required, but because it is the right approach.
Buyers who source from manufacturers committed to these principles are making a choice that has effects beyond their own supply chain. They are helping shift market demand toward cleaner production methods, which creates positive pressure across the entire industry.
Eliminating formaldehyde is one part of a broader operational commitment to responsible chemistry. Our facility also operates with zero liquid discharge, uses 100% renewable energy, and maintains strict controls on emissions and waste across all production lines.
We believe that the chemicals we make should not come at the expense of the environment or the people who make and use them. This philosophy shapes every decision we make about how we design our processes and invest in our infrastructure.
