Quality Management Services
In our company guidelines we have committed to exclusively utilizing purely vegetable products for the production of pharmaceutical glycerine, with a strong emphasis on the aspect of sustainability. The company has decided that crude glycerine based on used cooking oils, which are originally of vegetable origin but in the course of their use have been mixed with fats of animal origin, will only be supplied for technical uses, the same applies to glycerine from the lipolysis of animal fats. It can not be permitted to produce a raw material, whose quality cannot be monitored down to the smallest detail, at the cost of humans and the environment, while adequate economical and ecological solutions exist, which are also safe for human health. There is no question that these solutions exist for the production of glycerine, in form of nearly all common oleaginous plants including rape, sunflower, soy and oil palm. As long as sustainability is ensured, all pure vegetable oils must be considered as the raw materials of choice and should be preferred over animal products. This is especially the case when glycerine is used in the production of medical drugs, foods or cosmetics.
For the benefit of the consumer it is important to ensure that raw material sources are indeed faultless and safe. In animal products this can only be determined to a certain extent. Our pharma glycerine is not only of high quality and fulfills the strictest requirements – of the European Pharmacopeia, the United States Pharmacopeia, the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), the “NON-GMO”-standards of the European Union, the HACCP and the DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 22000 and the Kosher and Halal guidelines.
