World First: Candles From Purely Organically Produced Stearic

Feb. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Natural plant-based raw materials are becoming increasingly important for the ever-growing market for organic products. Cremer Oleo, the North German leading producer of organic raw materials with its business unit Cremer Care, has succeeded in finding a natural, purely plant-based and continuously tested alternative to conventional stearic acid. The motto and the principle of the Hamburg company – ’Inspired by nature’ – is thus forcefully brought to life.

High expectations, as of the world's first certified organic stearic acid, are simply fundamental to the daily work of Cremer Care. This is the only way to fully meet the growing demand from more and more people with an awareness of sustainability. ’With this unique plant-based, Ecocert certified product, we have taken an important step towards the guarantee of a consistent traceability of our products and raw materials – from the plantation to the final product’, says Cremer business unit manager Patrick Knüppel.

The production of organic stearic acid to RSPO guidelines (Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil) is guaranteed by the long-term partner Daabon from Colombia. There they have focused on plantations that are managed as small-farmer cooperatives, that have committed themselves to a complete, verifiable sustainability for more than 20 years.

Cremer goes that decisive step further to enable the production of organic candles: ’The organic raw material is purchased from one of the largest and most respected producers of organic agricultural products in South America, shipped and then processed under strict guidelines for organic stearic acid in Cremer Oleo’s own production facility, ´Prignitzer Chemie´ in Brandenburg. The product is a real milestone that meets the highest demands of any candle manufacturer.’, as product manager Michael Gretscher sums it up.

Sustainability and social responsibility in the production of raw materials thus complement each other in Cremer's motto ’Inspired by nature’.
