STC Nicotine stands for Sustainability, Traceability, and Compliance, representing Chemnovatic’s commitment to sustainable nicotine production.
It incorporates a standard that ensures the ethical and sustainable sourcing, production, and distribution of nicotine products. By following the STC standard, we stand strong as a trustworthy supplier in the nicotine industries.

STC Nicotine manufacturing standard focuses on three main areas:

Nicotine Sustainability

Ensures that the production of nicotine is done with minimal impact on the environment, using practices and technologies that promote environmental protection and sustainable resource use. Learn more about our sustainable development here.

Nicotine Traceability

Enables full traceability of nicotine from manufacture through each stage of the supply chain to ensure transparency and product safety.

Nicotine Compliance

The importance of Sustainable Nicotine Manufacturing

Sustainable manufacturing of NGPs and nicotine is becoming increasingly essential.

Focusing on sustainable development is crucial for two main reasons: the general need to protect our environment and compliance with formal regulations like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Sustainable development involves using resources wisely and minimizing harm to the environment. Businesses today must develop strategies to minimize their environmental impact, reduce negative effects, and accurately measure and report their results. This is not just about being ethical; it’s about ensuring the long-term viability of our planet’s resources.

The CSRD mandates that companies report not only on their financial performance but also on sustainability. Until recently, companies in the EU were only required to provide financial reports. Now, they must also include sustainability information. This change primarily applies to larger companies with specific criteria but practically influences all companies regardless of size.

The CSRD has a ripple effect on smaller businesses that are part of the supply chains of these larger companies. Even if smaller businesses are not directly required to comply with CSRD, they need to align with these sustainability standards to continue working with their larger corporate clients.

Therefore, if your business aims to collaborate with big retailers or other corporate clients, you need to develop and maintain a strong sustainability strategy, which should also be reflected in your suppliers’ practices.

Nicotine, the most critical ingredient of NGPs, is central to the industry’s supply chain. Ensuring its sustainable production is crucial and should be a priority, significantly contributing to a smoke-free future.

STC Nicotine is necessary to meet the demands of corporate companies, as it aligns with their strategies and expectations. These companies prioritize sourcing nicotine from suppliers who can guarantee sustainability, traceability, and compliance.

While manufacturing sustainable, traceable nicotine poses challenges, it also presents an opportunity to strengthen the supply chain and meet the highest stakeholder expectations.

Stay ahead in the industry: necessities for a smoke-free future

A smoke-free future requires a lot of effort to promote sustainability and responsible practices in the vaping industry. While customers may see innovative products and sustainability reports, they may not be aware of the behind-the-scenes efforts required to achieve these goals.

These behind-the-scenes contributions include supply chain management, occupational health and safety, natural resource conservation, innovative product formulations, renewable energy, local supplier development, sustainable packaging, reporting & communication, operational efficiency, carbon accounting, nicotine purification, United Nations sustainable development goals, quality control, human rights commitment, living income and living wages, carbon emissions tax policy, FDA standards, ISO certifications and more.

All of these are vital for ensuring the sustainability, traceability, and ethical production of nicotine products. By addressing both visible and behind-the-scenes initiatives businesses can work towards a smoke-free future that prioritizes sustainability and consumer safety.
