The detergents industry is investing in optimising palm kernel oil as a bio-based raw material and is commitment to sustainable sourcing. Palm kernel oil derivatives are used as surfactants in detergents to ensure an adequate cleaning functionality as they attack and remove the dirt.

An increasing number of detergent manufacturers source palm kernel oil from suppliers that adhere to recognised certification schemes that ensure the sustainability of their supply chain, e.g. RSPO.

A.I.S.E. has published a new factsheet outlining how palm kernel oil derivatives are used in a detergent product, and the industry's commitment to sustainable sourcing of the ingredient.
