Evaluated Alternative Bio-attributed, phthalate-free plasticizer for close to human use: Pevalen™ Pro Pevalen™ Pro is a bio-attributed plasticizer ready to be dropped into existing formulations with Pevalen™. Based on the mass balance concept, it is a partly renewable pentaerythritol tetra valerate (PETV) designed to reduce the carbon footprint and supports sustainable sourcing of renewable raw material. Pevalen™ Pro is third party certified according to the ISCC system which means we have both traceability back to the country of origin ensuring the biomass was sourced in a sustainable way as well as a certified mass balance and greenhouse gas (GHG) calculation. Perstorp offers three grades of Pevalen™ Pro; Pro 8, Pro 24 and Pro 36, based on 8%, 24% and 36% renewable resources.
Evaluated Alternative True non-phthalate plasticizer for close to human use: Pevalen™ Pevalen™ is a true non-phthalate plasticizer with uncompromising performance. It is the perfect choice for sensitive applications, such as products in direct human contact, e.g. apparel and accessories, sports & leisure products, automotive interiors or other indoor applications such as floors or wall coverings in homes and public spaces. Perstorp has also obtained Food Contact Notification from the FDA in USA for the use of Pevalen™ as a plasticizer for use in repeated‐use food contact articles. Pevalen™ (chemical name pentaerythritol tetravalerate or PETV) has a unique performance not matched by any other plasticizer product with high plasticizing efficiency in combination with low migration and volatility. The unique combination of properties and its total-cost efficiency makes it a versatile and often superior plasticizer for both suspension and emulsion applications such as molded parts, films & sheets, coated fabrics - including artificial leather and other plastisol applications.

Evaluated Alternative UV disinfection for industrial applications AQUAWORKER is specifically developed for water disinfection in tough environments. AquaWorker stops harmful microorganisms from entering water systems (e.g. cooling systems) and reduces the risk for biological growth in circulation systems. Extremely durable materials meet the tough demands of the corrosive industrial environment (chemicals, salinity, ambient humidity and shifting water temperatures) to ensure long-term, trouble-free operation. AquaWorker can be installed in fresh or seawater applications.
Evaluated Alternative Tidal Clear is the sustainable solution for all kinds of water treatment Tidal Clear uses chitosan which is safe and non-toxic. It is an ideal eco-friendly flocculant for water clarification applications due to its ability to bind to a variety of organic and inorganic particulates. Removal of suspended solids, dyes, heavy metals, and other pollutants is facilitated with chitosan. Aggregation and flocculation by chitosan occur because of the unique pH-sensitive and strong hydrophilic nature of chitosan.
Evaluated Alternative Fully Compostable Flexible Packaging TIPA’s innovative packaging is just as transparent, durable and impermeable as ordinary plastic packaging. However, unlike other commonly used materials on the market that can take up to 500 years to break down, TIPA's packaging biologically decomposes in a composter in up to 180 days and becomes a valuable fertilizer for soil.
