Huntsman recently announced that its thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) manufacturing sites in Jinshan, China, and Osnabrück, Germany, have successfully secured ISCC+ Certification. 

Arkema has achieved multiple mass balance ISCC PLUS certifications in the United States, Europe, and Asia covering major coating technologies.

Afera, The European Adhesive Tape Association, has released a new position paper on mass balance chain of custody as part of the work undertaken by the Advocacy Workstream of Afera’s Flagship Sustainability Project.

The continued collaboration highlights the commitment of both companies to providing products with a reduced product carbon footprint. 

Henkel Adhesive Technologies' polyurethane production at its Düsseldorf, Germany, site has recently received the International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certification. 

ISCC PLUS is a voluntary scheme that attests to the proper management of recycled and biomass-derived raw materials across the supply chain, including in production processes. 

The certification marks a significant milestone for the company, which is already certified at its European sites in Monheim, Germany; Marl, Germany; Oberhausen, Germany; and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 

The new report highlights the advancement of environmental, social and governance sustainability initiatives within the company and its commitment to innovating products that assist customers and end users with reducing ecological impact.

In 2023, a raw material supplier commissioned a life cycle assessment to evaluate the carbon footprint of its products.

The ISCC certification system establishes a methodology to validate accounting for the CO₂ capture benefits of the CCU process, as well as tracking of sustainable feedstocks using the mass balance system.
