Formulating for today’s market is more challenging than ever. In addition to optimizing functional performance and total cost, it is now equally important to work to reduce the environmental impact of our ingredients and finished goods.

It is with this priority in mind that we developed "ECCCO Friendly Products Initiative". We have taken many of our ECCCO "Friendlier" products and consolidated them within our website so that you, our customer can review and make informed choices for your formulations. We have enabled you to search by product functionality to help with your formulating needs. Our goal is to continue to work to expand this offering by sourcing new ingredients from around the world.

We see these products as a positive step in the evolution of our industry toward a more sustainable future.
