RSPO Sustainable and Ethical Palm Oil

JINTEX Achieves Clean Bio-Based Water Repellents

Palm oil, a crop with high economic value, is widely used in both consumer and industrial applications around the world. The demand for palm oil has led to deforestation, with native trees being cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. This extensive deforestation has had a significant impact on ecosystems, resulting in the loss of wildlife habitats, and the destruction of pristine rainforests in the name of commercial profit. 

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global organization comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders advocating for sustainable palm oil production. Products bearing the RSPO Sustainable Palm Oil certification guarantee that their production doesn't harm rainforests and are environmentally friendly. 

In the textile industry, water-repellent functionality is commonly used in dyeing and finishing processes. Many famous brands have begun to transition from fluorinated water repellents due to concerns about their potential health and environmental hazards, particularly substances like perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). The goal is to replace the use of fluorinated water-repellent treatments gradually. Opting for JINTEX Natural Guard bio-based, fluorine-free water repellents with RSPO-certified ingredients significantly reduces environmental impact, supporting sustainable sourcing in the production supply chain.

JINTEX Natural Guard, a bio-based fluorine-free water repellent, utilizes sustainably sourced plant oils certified by RSPO. It complies with global environmental regulations, embodying characteristics of both green and low-carbon footprint.
