Sustainable Chemical Practices in India: Why Eco-Friendly Blends Are the Future

Introduction

As global demand for sustainability grows, Indian industries are increasingly adopting eco-friendly chemicals and processes. From low-VOC solvents to green-certified raw materials, manufacturers are rethinking their chemical usage—not just to comply with regulations but also to protect their workers, customers, and the environment.

In this blog, we explore how the shift toward sustainable chemical practices is gaining momentum in India—and how Pooja Corporation is enabling that change with a focused eco-product line.


What Are Sustainable Chemicals?

Sustainable or “green” chemicals are those that:

  • Have low environmental impact

  • Are less toxic to humans and ecosystems

  • Are energy-efficient in production and usage

  • Meet global standards for biodegradability, emissions, and safety

They often come with certifications from bodies like REACH, BIS, or ISO, and are designed to replace traditionally hazardous or volatile substances.


Industry Trends in India

Pharmaceuticals

  • Increasing use of low-residue, water-based solvents

  • Shift from toxic petrochemical bases to bio-based alternatives

  • Focus on meeting export standards like US FDA and EU REACH

Coatings and Paints

  • Rise of low-VOC and water-based coatings

  • Demand for non-flammable, safer thinners

  • Use of solvents that reduce worker exposure to hazardous fumes

Textiles

  • Growth in dyeing auxiliaries and solvents that consume less water

  • Use of biodegradable chemicals in pre- and post-treatment processes

  • Eco-certifications becoming important for export markets


Impact of Regulations

Indian and international regulations are pushing manufacturers to rethink chemical sourcing and usage:

  • REACH (EU): Encourages use of safer alternatives

  • BIS (India): Mandates quality control and safety compliance

  • GMP & ISO: Ensure responsible manufacturing and distribution

  • Green Building Codes: Influence demand for low-emission chemicals in construction and coatings

Companies that align with these standards not only reduce risk—but also gain competitive advantage in both domestic and export markets.
