With a firm commitment to the protection of our environmental heritage, Rolco, the most innovative detergent production unit in Greece, is the only purely Greek company participating in the European Horizon 2020 Program entitled OXIPRO, representing the detergent and cleaning industry with the aim of a more sustainable future. The five-year program aims to strengthen green growth and the competitiveness of the European bio-based economy.

Rolco was selected by the research consortium members to organize and host the annual OXIPRO scientific group meeting. During the gathering, the team visited the company’s modern facilities and observed all stages of the production process, discussed with the research and development, commercial and quality assurance departments and participated in a series of seminars and workshops on green technologies, while exchange know-how and experiences with other scientists and professionals.

The scientific team of the OXIPRO project is made up of 35 scientists, company executives and academics who work together for the research and development of green technologies with the aim of replacing harmful chemicals with others harmless to the environment. The team members come from a variety of sectors and countries, covering fields including cosmetics, fisheries, textiles, academic institutions and research centres.

With environmental protection being a perennial commitment and priority, Rolco has for years integrated sustainable practices in all its activities and works closely with scientific and academic bodies at national and European level to promote even greener and more sustainable products. The OXIPRO project is a valuable ally of the company in the effort to ensure a more sustainable future, as it gives it the opportunity to actively participate in the developments of European legislation in the field of detergents.
