Citing growing demand for more natural ingredients and additives to meet sustainability goals, Palsgaard A/S has opened a new 10,000-tonne pellet line. The addition also expands production capacity for the Einar brand plant-based polymer additives at its facility in Juelsminde, Denmark. “We are seeing fast-growing demand among consumers, brand owners, packaging designers, and plastics manufacturers for more natural materials to reduce fossil depletion and waste,” said Ulrik Aunskjaer, Global Industry Director, Non-Food Business Development, Polymer Additives. “Our expanded production capacity meets these requirements by boosting the availability of food-grade, plant-based surfactants and modifiers for polymer manufacturers and compounders.”
