The Journey to
NET ZERO.

Eliminate the friction
between performance
& sustainability.

YOU CAN HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

Simply by replacing the mineral-based lubricant you use now, you can achieve significant reductions in your CO2 emissions – with no loss in performance. Each fill adds more reduction, so it’s easy to see how a simple change can have a profound impact.

We’ve developed an interactive carbon savings calculator that compares RSC Bio lubrication products to virtually any other available today. Time after time, CO2 emissions go down while performance stays the same – or actually improves.

After all, if it’s not high performance, it’s not sustainable. Contact one of our experts today to see the impact for yourself.

We’re on this path together.

The transportation sector, including shipping, is responsible for more than 20% of the world’s total CO2 emissions – the second-largest contributor to global carbon pollution.

What difference can a small percentage make? It all adds up, on a global scale, and on your bottom line.

The European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United States, and more than 110 countries have committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

The countdown to 2050 has already begun. Will you be ready?

What does
biodegradability mean

Biodegradability is the ability of a substance to be digested or consumed over time by naturally occurring microorganisms present in water, air and soil systems.

Do RSC Bio fluids perform better than standard petroleum-based alternatives

Our unique formulas are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any product on the market, under a wide range of extreme temperature conditions, in high pressure applications, with long wear and fluid life and offering anticorrosive properties.

Will using a readily-biodegradable fluid void my equipment warranty

RSC Bio Solutions’ lubricants have been approved by many OEMs for use in their equipment and either meet or exceed all OEM requirements. Many OEMs are now approving use of and offering factory-filling of their equipment with our products.

What gives RSC Bio products “drop-in” capability

Many of our products can be “drop-in” replacements for mineral oil-based products because our base oil systems are environmentally responsible (i.e., VGP-compliant) while offering the added benefits of being fully compatible with the existing equipment components and seal materials.

What is the future for sustainable lubrication

As regulations increase and customer education improves, more companies will switch to sustainable lubricant technologies – the key will be how quickly quality products can be developed and delivered that offer both the sustainability and performance needed to support true high-value products.

Are all sustainable lubricants the same

No. Inferior lubricants offered as “sustainable” provide no long-term benefits, fail quickly, and ultimately cost the end user a great deal of time and money – far from the goals of sustainability. Environmentally responsible lubricants are sustainable only if they create a real value while using renewable resources and providing a safer, more stable lubricant.

What makes producing sustainable lubricants so hard

To produce a truly sustainable lubricant, you must have a comprehensive knowledge of lubrication (tribology) as well as proficiency formulating with non-conventional base oil technology. We have the talent to create formulas from the “ground up”, understanding the complex interactions of additives to produce high-performance, safer, more sustainable lubricants.

What are some of the additional benefits from using RSC Bio products

In addition to better performance and meeting all regulatory needs, many companies actively promote their use of environmentally responsible lubricants, generating good will. And if a spill occurs, use of readily biodegradable fluid mitigates what could be a negative event.

What do you mean when you say, “If it’s not high performance, it’s not sustainable”

Sustainability without performance improvements is counterproductive. Users rightly reject so-called sustainability products that offer poor stability and require frequent replacement. Only stable, high performing products that contain high renewable content will ultimately survive and prosper in the marketplace.
