I’m currently working to source additives and components for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants for automotive and marine applications. If you would like to offer your products for screening, please contact me.

EALs need to meet a list of five criteria. An additive can be sustainable if it exhibits one or more characteristics that include the following:

The raw materials used to make the additive are from renewable resources or recycled.

The manufacturing process utilizes green energy.

The additive can help with fuel economy, thus reducing dependency on natural resources and cutting carbon dioxide emissions.

The additive prolongs the useful life of lubricants, thus reducing the environmental impact of lubricants.

The additive is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
