Food industry processing by-products<\/h2><\/div>

Green Oleo is an oleochemistry company that uses raw materials<\/strong> derived from food supply chain by-products. These are by-products that are no longer suitable for either human or animal consumption. Furthermore, the raw materials we use are locally sourced, forming an exceptionally short and highly sustainable supply chain.<\/p>\n

Our procurement is characterized by a strong European focus: in 2025, the company maintained business relationships with a total of 68 raw material suppliers\u201438 based in Italy and 30 in the rest of Europe\u2014with no suppliers headquartered outside the European continent. This reflects our short-supply-chain orientation<\/strong> and our commitment to maintaining supply relationships within a homogeneous geographical, regulatory, and cultural perimeter.<\/p>\n

Ours is a cultural challenge. Elevating the by-product to the role of a raw material is part of a virtuous circular economy process, an area in which Green Oleo has been engaged for years. Our goal is to promote a culture of sustainable economy, reducing resource waste and generating new value through the creation of sustainable products. With the objective of supporting transparent supply chains, the company has obtained ISCC+ certification<\/strong> for all its main oleochemical product streams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Waste products from vegetable oils <\/strong>(in particular, olive oil<\/strong>) are transformed into new products which then go on to be used even in the high-end cosmetics sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

ANIMAL-BASED<\/strong>
\nRAW MATERIALS<\/h2><\/div>

The animal fat<\/strong> (tallow) used in Green Oleo\u2019s processing falls strictly into Category III, as defined by the Ministry of Health: a byproduct with negligible or zero associated risk, in that it is a byproduct derived from edible sources that cannot be used for the food market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

SQUALENE<\/h2><\/div>

Green Oleo uses raw materials that contain squalene<\/strong>, a product with emollient and antioxidant properties that is used to produce high-end cosmetics <\/strong>(e.g. suncreams and lotions) and make-up<\/strong> (foundation, lipstick, etc.).<\/p>\n

Green Oleo predominantly uses squalene <\/strong>derived from plant sources, such as olive oil<\/strong>, amaranth oil<\/strong>, argan oil<\/strong> and sunflower oil<\/strong>, and is currently fine-tuning a process capable of increasing the concentration of the compound in our products.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":25,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7243","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7243"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12093,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7243\/revisions\/12093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenoleo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
