Croda inaugurates $170 bio-based chemicals plant in Delaware

In Delaware, Croda International inaugurated its new $170 million plant producing bio-based non-ionic surfactants, the first of its kind in North America to use bio-based ethanol rather than petroleum products as feedstock. The governor praised the project during the ribbon cutting for demonstrating the state welcomes innovative companies that bring good jobs and create sustainable business. The company has previously invested in CHP from landfill gas and installed solar panels at another of its Delaware facilities.
