Oleon Oelegem is an innovative plant that is pioneering sustainability and collaboration. Just last year they inaugurated a new installation for enzymatic esterification. The technology for this was developed in collaboration with partner companies and knowledge institutions, including within the Catalisti project Lipametics. This makes us particularly proud. This allows carbon emissions from production to drop over 40% and waste production to be reduced by 60%, an impressive result.
