palm oil

Palm oil, also known as Palm oil, is a semi-solid vegetable oil derived from the palm fruit. Although it is mainly used in the production of machine oil, diesel or biodiesel, it is a type of oil that we can find everywhere from biscuits to shampoo. And the world’s dependence on this oil has some pretty negative environmental consequences.

Palm oil, which has the feature of making soaps more foamy, lipsticks softer, or ice creams more resistant to melting, is considered a kind of miracle oil. For this reason, people cannot give up this oil. But on the other hand, where palm fruit grows, people burn forests to plant more palm trees, pollute the environment, endanger human life and accelerate global warming.

Palm oil; It can be used in the production of various products such as margarine, biscuits, breakfast cereals, shampoo, lipstick, chocolate, detergent and chocolate. It is preferred by cosmetic manufacturers due to its low price. It is also used as a cheap raw material in the production of biofuels, especially in the EU.
