KLK OLEO: sustainable palm oil KLK OLEO, member of RSPO, helps you achieve your sustainable vision with two supply chain models KLK OLEO recognises the importance of setting a good example when it comes to sustainable development.

The company strives to be a pioneer of change in the oleo-chemical industry pursuing international standards of recognition in their national and global efforts for sustainability.

As part of the publicly listed reputable international group Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad (KLK), KLK OLEO meets all criteria of the RSPO Supply Chain Certification (SCC) systems and offers two supply chain models under the RSPO guidelines: the Mass Balance Model and the Segregation Model depending on the capability of the individual production site.

The Mass Balance Model The Mass Balance Model allows mixing of certified oil and non-certified oil at any stage of the supply chain,

provided that the overall certified oil quantities used are controlled and accounted for.

The key point for the Mass Balance Model is that the volumes of RSPOcertified products shipped by a producer must never exceed the volumes received. The basis of the supply chain requirements for the Mass Balance Model consists of reconciliation between the quantity of RSPO material bought, and the quantity of RSPO certified products delivered.

There are no additional requirements regarding separate storing or control in the production process.

The Segregation Model This model assures that all of the physical products originate from RSPO-certified oil only. This approach requires that the RSPO-certified palm oil is kept separate from materials of non-RSPO origin at every stage of the production, processing, refining and manufacturing throughout the supply chain. This model, however, does allow the mixing of SG RSPO-certified

palm oil and its derivatives from various SG RSPO sources.

• Fair share of complexity and impact on cost depending on product group • Physical segregation is costly along the supply chain • Physical segregation makes the segregation model very complex Article 112

RSPO The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a non-profit organisation that aims to transform markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm. The organisation unites stakeholders from the palm oil industry to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil. It has over 2000 members globally representing 40% of the palm oil industry and covering all sectors of the global commodity supply chain.

The global demand for palm oil is increasing and accounts for a large share of the world’s production of oils and fats.

Given the great demand and the fact that millions of people are dependent on the raw material, there has been an urgent global call for sustainably produced palm oil.

Alsiano now sells KOLB products with RSPO certificate

By KOLB Consumer awareness about palm oil is significant and growing, both for food and non-food products. The industry has to source sustainably in order to retain customer loyalty in the sector where brand is the main equity.

An updated version of the RSPO Supply Chain Certification standard has been released last November. For traders and distributors it is no longer mandatory to certify their supply chain. They require a licence from RSPO to sell RSPO certified products.

When selling RSPO certified products the certification number of the product manufacturer must be passed on and the applicable supply chain model (e.g. Mass Balance or Segregation).

This is an important step in transforming markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm and making it available to all, not only the big players.

KOLB offers the choice to buy palm (kernel) oil derivatives with RSPO certification. Alsiano has applied for this distributors’ licence and can start selling KOLB’s products with RSPO certificate.

Stepan Mild® L3, naturally derived surfactant The newly launched Stepan Mild® L3 is a naturally-derived, multifunctional nonionic surfactant and emollient, suitable for either rinse-off or leave-on products

By Stepan STEPAN-MILD® L3 (Lauryl Lactyl Lactate) is a viscosity builder, foam booster, emulsifier and emollient that can be used in shampoo, body wash, liquid soap, bubble bath, facial cleanser and cream/lotion formulations.

Foam texture and skin after-feel

Used as an additive in formulations, Stepan-Mild® L3 shows enhanced mildness, gives a creamy and luxurious touch to the foam and provides skin softness. In hair care products, it can also be used as a substitute or boosting agent of silicones for easier detangling and sleekness. Lastly, it helps solubilising active ingredients (e.g. salicylic acid…).

Emollient attributes

Stepan-Mild® L3 is therefore the pleasure enhancer for cosmetic formulations, for a richer sensorial experience.

Stepan Mild L3 brings immediate slight viscosity. It helps achieve higher viscosities with less salt. Higher efficacy, reduced irritancy.

Application 2-in-1 shampoo, bar wash, facial cleansers, soap, shampoos, skin cers, special secondary sulfate-free, thickeners.

soap, body liquid hand feel enhansurfactants,

Hand wash: with just 1% addition of Stepan Mild L3 in a SLES/CAPB system, the obtained foam is denser and deliciously creamy. After use, the skin is left soft and supple.

Stepan Mild L3 is a surfactant with emollient properties. Its use in hygiene formulations is therefore easier than most other emollients, while offering a similar touch.

Improved eye tolerance Stepan Mild L3 reduces the eye irritation, for high mildness formulations.

An extra hand on viscosity building

Haircare - a natural alternative to silicones In 2-in-1 shampoos Stepan Mild L3 gives at least the same performances as a silicone emulsion.
