“Shift Toward Sustainable and Bio-Based Process Oils”
- The process oil market is experiencing a noticeable shift toward sustainable and bio-based alternatives as industries focus on reducing environmental impact and complying with regulatory standards
- Manufacturers are increasingly investing in the development of plant-derived process oils to replace conventional petroleum-based variants, especially in rubber and plastic processing
- For instance, Nynas introduced a range of bio-based oils aimed at improving sustainability without compromising performance, and Ergon has expanded its environmentally friendly product lines
- This trend is being further accelerated by consumer demand for eco-conscious products in the automotive and personal care industries, which are major end users of process oils
- Companies adopting green formulations are also gaining competitive advantages by differentiating their offerings, aligning with circular economy goals, and enhancing their brand image in global markets
