ISCC PLUS
Against the backdrop of climate change and decarbonization, systems that promote the sustainability of the raw materials used in industrial production and processing are ever more critical. A further vital aspect is the replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuel sources. Companies within the chemical industry, in particular, are developing integrated production systems that benefit the carbon balance sheet and conserve fossil fuel resources. Such activities testify to a responsible attitude towards society as a whole, and companies who follow this approach stand out within the competitive market. Certification provides a visible outward sign of environmental awareness, and the demand for it is growing.
ISCC PLUS certification – certified sustainability for food, feed and the chemical industry
With ISCC PLUS, the established ISCC scheme (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) has been extended to cover food, feed and technical and chemical applications. It can be used worldwide to certify, for example, the sustainable use of solid biomass and/or recyclates from packaging waste in the chemical industry and downstream industrial sectors (e.g., the packaging industry). ISCC PLUS also considers sustainability at all stages of the supply and production chains in the food and feed industries.
