Huntsman recently announced that its thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) manufacturing sites in Jinshan, China, and Osnabrück, Germany, have successfully secured ISCC+ Certification — the globally recognized standard for sustainability and traceability in supply chains. The achievement enables Huntsman to offer mass-balance-certified products from its TPU product lines, thus supporting its customers’ sustainability ambitions. The sites in China and Germany join Huntsman Polyurethanes sites in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Wilton, UK, which have been ISCC+ Certified since 2023. 

ISCC+ is a globally recognized, voluntary standard. Designed for companies involved in the production of recycled and/or biobased products, ISCC+ ensures full traceability at all points of a product’s production. The mass-balance attribution approach is one type of methodology used by ISCC+. This chain-of-custody model makes it possible to track the amount and sustainability characteristics of recycled and/or biobased material in the value chain and attribute it to specific products, based on verifiable bookkeeping.

Michael Quinn, vice president of Global Elastomers at Huntsman Polyurethanes, said, "We are extremely proud that our Jinshan and Osnabrück sites have joined Huntsman’s Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Wilton, UK, sites in earning ISCC+ Certification. This milestone demonstrates our commitment to supporting the transition to circular economy principles. Securing ISCC+ Certification requires meticulous scrutiny of supply chain practices, sustainability measures, and compliance with rigorous environmental, social, and traceability standards. Congratulations to our associates who have worked tirelessly to achieve this accreditation."

Huntsman’s TPU products are widely used across a range of market segments, including as adhesive raw materials.
