“A leading Green-Chemistry

Total-solutions Provider in the World”

Ecogreen as a fine chemical manufacturers, and one of the global leading aroma chemical manufacturers. Since the company is established, we adhere to the philosophy of "Green chemical, natural product and life science", take sustainability as a long-term strategy and obtain a great achievement. Our company has passed a series of authentications, for instance, ISO9001:200 for quality,
ISO14001:2004 for environment and the Kosher certificate. We also obtain the Flavors and Fragrance Food Production License , Food Hygiene License and Pharmaceutic Adjuvant Production License. Sustainability is a word trend, also a policy of Ecogreen. We anchor in the sustainability strategy, focus on Quality, Safety, Environmental and Heath.

1、 Quality

Quality is the fundamental of a company’s development, also the most important management philosophy. The interest of the customers is the centered of our quality management, we integrate quality awareness in day-to-day activities, strength the quality awareness of each employee.

The ISO9001 quality management system is applied in production, daily management, purchase and logistics system, which help us maintain and improve the quality control system. In production, we do fully inspection on raw material, production process, storage and shipment to ensure quality. We establish a perfect operating procedures, working instructions and organization policies to implement quality management into every aspect of daily work.

2、Safety

Safety production is the premise and guarantee of all activities, without safety production could not lead to benefit and development. Cause the flammable, explosive, toxic and strongly corrosive characteristics of chemical production, we establish responsibility system for safety control system, adhere to the principle of " Who is in charge of production, Who need also control safety ", and take possible measures to strengthen safety management, safety technology and safety education, so can prevent accident.

In daily operation, we adhere to the principle of " Who is manager, Who is responsible for safety", implement the safety management in all levels responsibility system, and each worker is responsible for safety production.Safety production is not only refers to manufacture department, but also refers to administration, strategic resources, R&D, technology, quality control and all the other departments, can be subdivided into properties of matter, environment, technology, hazardous source and continuous operation safety management. We list down the hazardous’ s assessment, cause, influence and corrective reaction of all activities, insist on the principle of Standardize Management, Subdivision Responsibility and Strictly Implement, set up a perfect safety control mechanism to ensure safety production.

3、Environmental

In order to minimize the impact on environment, we attached great importance to evaluate the production influence on environment since our plant was established in 1999. We insist the green chemical concept, adhere to the principle of " Cleaner Production ", " Discharge standard " and " Material Balance " in production, have been certificated for ISO14001:2004.

In production, we adopt advantage techniques and methods, reduce usage and production of the materials, catalysts, ingredients, products and by-products which are harmful to human health, community security and ecological environment, details are as following:

A Pollution prevention is prior to pollution treatment

We do as much as possible to minimize or eliminate pollution, so can reduce the charge caused by pollution treatment.

B Material balance

We strive to improve the yield of the reaction, strictly implement the “Material Balance” method to fulfill the economic theory of how many reactants lead to how many products, thereby reduce waste generation.

C Renewable raw materials usage

Our raw material is renewable Gum Turpentine, we establish long-term strategic cooperation with raw material supplier, request them use renewable Gum tapping method, thus reduce the destruction of vegetation.

D Energy economic reaction

We continuous improve process to increase economic benefit. We develop and use catalyst to make reaction easily carry out and reduce energy loss.

E Harmless chemical synthesis

We only use and produce lowly toxic or nontoxic chemicals, minimize or eliminate any factors may bring hazardous. Meanwhile we use green synthesis route, such as hydration reaction which react with water, hydrogenation reaction which without harmful substances produced, and the distillation process which is physical reaction.

In order to minimize the environmental impact, we apply " Cleaner Production" management mechanism and achieve good results. We start from the source –the raw materials must be clean, considering supplier 's environmental protection effort when purchase raw materials. Our process operating conditions are relatively mild, production is reliable and fewer waste. When design and select equipment, we adopt reliable protective measures in the parts which hazardous is easily occurred, strength the automatic level and management of the equipment to reduce the accident. Meanwhile we pay high attention to recycle materials and water.

Moreover, we obtain the pollutant discharge permit in waste water, waste gas and solid waste, fully implement the principle of " Discharge Standards ".

We strictly control each indicator in wastewater, such as: pH, SS, COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen and petroleum.etc.. Through the catalyst recovery project, the concentration of the wastewater which is discharged in hydration process is reduced from CODcr25000-35000mg/L to CODcr2000-3500 mg/L, the removal rate of CODcr is above 90%. The largest daily processing capacity of wastewater is 14 tons which reduce the influent load of sewage station and create economic benefit.

In our production, the air emission mainly contains nonmethane hydrocarbon and methane, the vent gas would go through -15℃ cryogenic treatment and circulated cooling water system to recycle the materials before emission. The non-condensable gas mainly contains nitrogen and small amounts of terpenes, and the emission air could reach the environmental protection standard.

In order to solve the solid wastes discharge problem, we establish a waste storage site which can prevent the rain and leakage, regularly let a qualified company handle the treatment and government handle the garbage.

Also, we regularly monitor the noise in the middle east, west, south, north part of the plant, all test results can reach the " Environmental Quality Standards For Noise ".

4、Heath

Health management is very important for chemical manufacturers, in order to promote the health management we establish a perfect mechanism to provide better guarantee for employees.

In the manual operation, we list the hazardous and precautions, provide proper safety equipment to worker, such as neoprene gloves, masks, safe hats and shoes etc.. Meanwhile we are selective in the use of warnings and cautions to avoid harmful injure to workers. For severe toxicant operation, the applicants need to fill out the " Severe Toxicant Usage Approved List", and the safety supervise department must be present to minimize hazardous.

In order to ensure the safety operation of equipment, we post working instruction and operating procedures in main equipment area, regularly monitor temperature, air and noise condition to provide good working environment for worker. We keep first - aid kites in the production area, arrange regular medical examination for workers, see the staff 's health as an important task of our company.

We obtain Kosher certificate and HACCP certificate, provide complete instructions of the performance and usage for each products, this is helpful to minimize human health harmful caused by incorrect usage.
