ISCC Plus: Biomaterials Certification
In the new economy, recycled content in new products and their packaging will be vital to proving their improved sustainability over competitive offerings.
Several schemes exist, among these the most well-known is ISCC Plus.
International sustainability standard applicable to all sectors using plant-based or recycled raw materials.
THE TRACEABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS
ISCC Plus certification demonstrates that traceability is ensured in accordance with this international sustainability standard applicable to all sectors from the collection of raw materials (from biomass or waste and residues) to the transformation process. Options are available to adapt to each company and to its specific certification requirements (reduction of GHGs, non-GMO, biodiversity, use of human food, use of animal feed, etc.).
Within the current debate on packaging, ISCC Plus certification provides an opportunity for innovative companies to demonstrate the progress made towards sustainable solutions from biomass or recycling.

BIOECONOMY
The “bioeconomy” brings together all the activities that value living resources. If we put aside food production and biofuel production, there are plenty of new applications that make it possible to reduce the consumption of fossil-based products (mainly from petroleum) towards bio-based products. It is about ensuring the sustainability of the raw materials used and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions within the supply chain. This is the goal of ISCC Plus certification.
Sustainability Circular+
Today’s businesses are rethinking their sustainability strategies, shifting their focus from simply reducing environmental impacts, to moving towards a circular economy business model. This renewable energy-powered model of production and consumption requires companies to rework their linear business models and embrace a closed-loop system for resources and products.
