SUSTAINABILITY CAREERS HOME | HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? | SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABILITY At Hallstar, we measure our success not only in financial terms, but also by how we operate in the community and environment. Our sustainability efforts focus on the environmental, social, and economic issues that help create and sustain long-term success for our communities and our planet. We are committed to reducing, and eliminating any negative environmental impact whenever possible, while benefiting the communities in which we live and work. Download our Sustainability Commitment Statement Product Development Operations Product Development Hallstar focuses on delivering products designed for longevity and performance, while minimizing environmental impact through process optimization and use of renewable feedstocks whenever possible. Hallstar’s commitment to sustainability and the protection of people and the environment is demonstrated through our development of phthalate-free plasticizers utilizing our expertise in polymeric ester chemistry. Hallstar recognized the inherent risks around some phthalates and the growing public concern over these chemistries, and now offers a series of polymer modifiers that can serve in a range of rubber and plastic applications. The HallGreen® product line is another example of Hallstar’s proactive exploration of sustainable chemistry. HallGreen® products are environmentally responsible polymer modifiers manufactured using renewable feedstocks for use in PLA, PHA, starch-based and other bio-polymers and hybrids as well as synthetic elastomers and PVC. These esters are USDA-certified as sourced from renewable raw material streams and/or are biodegradable according to ASTM-D6400. HallGreen® products function as process aids as well as polymer and impact modifiers. They improve processing by reducing melt viscosity/temperature, energy consumption and brittleness. They improve impact resistance and extruder flow rates and throughputs, lengthening the product lifespan. Select products in this line have FDA and/or REACH acceptances. In addition to our HallGreen® products, Hallstar offers a wide gradient of environmentally- sensitive, renewably-sourced biodegradable monomerics and polymerics (likely the only 100% renewable and biodegradable polymerics on the market), as well as synthetically-sourced but still biodegradable polymerics. We are one of the first cosmetic ingredient suppliers to offer certified sustainable, palm-based (RSPO®) derivatives to its customers. Our Active Naturals line of beauty products known as Oléoactif is an outstanding example of both sustainable operations and 100% natural, Ecocert-certified organic ingredients. These fine skincare actives come from completely natural sources without using harsh chemical techniques. Our colleagues in Hallstar France and their patented Oléo-éco-extraction methodology cryogenically grinding up various fruits and flowers and then, through microwave and ultrasound, extracted those unique and helpful actives into an oil-based serum that has no residual solvents. In addition, we offer a line of products that contain up to 100% natural content including our Olivem® brand of biomimetic emulsifiers and Biochemica® oils and butters, as well as some of our Florasolvs® line of water-soluble emollients and surfactants.
