ISCC PLUS Certification

ISCC is a globally applicable sustainability certification system and covers all sustainability feedstocks, including agricultural and forestry biomass, bio-based and circular materials and renewables.

Certification under the ISCC standard assures a fully transparent and deforestation-free supply chain and the protection of land with high biodiversity value and high carbon stock. The ISCC standard complies with human, labour, and land rights, as well as good management practices. Furthermore, ISCC provides the methodology, rules, and guidelines for calculating and verifying greenhouse gas emissions and emission reductions.

ISCC PLUS Certification

ISCC PLUS (or ISCC+) is a voluntary certification by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system, a global standard for sustainable feedstocks such as agricultural biomass, bio-based materials and renewables.

For our customers, ISCC certification ensures bio-based and circular products meet strict environmental and social standards, offering:

Credibility: Assurance of sustainable sourcing and production.
Transparency: Traceability from raw materials to final products.
Market access: Acceptance in sustainability-focused markets.

Mass balance in sustainable chemicals

The mass balance approach tracks sustainable material in production, providing:

Flexibility: Integrates sustainable materials without new production lines.
