Plastic additives progress

14/04/2023

Chemicals group BASF has received certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus organisation for certain grades of plastic additives produced at manufacturing sites in Switzerland and the US.

This certification will enable BASF to offer more sustainable grades of its core plastic additives, the company said, with a reduced carbon footprint, through the use of renewable raw materials in a mass balance approach.

An ISCC PLUS certification covers the entire value chain and ensures the use of renewable materials. It is an internationally recognised certification process for the mass balance methodology.
