In July 2023, our polyolefin (PO) compounding site in Monza, Italy received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS). With this latest certification, we have achieved the milestone of having all our European PO and PO compounding sites as well as our recycling sites Renasci in Oostende, Belgium, and Ecoplast in Austria ISCC PLUS certified.
ISCC PLUS is a global certification that covers the entire supply chain based on mass balance accounting, from raw material to final product, guaranteeing compliance with highest environmental and social standards. By establishing a chain of custody, it ensures traceability for both recyclate-based and renewable-based materials. It also verifies that the mass balance accounting follows predefined and transparent rules.
With the certification of our Monza site, we are now able to offer circular PO products manufactured with renewable feedstocks (Bornewables™) and grades based on chemically recycled feedstock (Borcycle™ C) as part of our Monza PO compounds portfolio.
