ISCC PLUS and a Mass Balance Approach
Using an ISCC PLUS-verified mass balance approach, the sustainable characteristics of feedstocks can be assigned to specific shipments to AmSty customers using a credit-based system. For example, an ISCC PLUS-certified company that purchases AmSty’s PolyRenew® styrene monomer to produce rubber destined for tires can represent that the tires are made with a percentage of recycled styrene on a mass balance basis that is third-party validated.
It’s one more way AmSty is empowering our customers and converters and helping drive meaningful progress toward a circular economy.
AmSty was the first U.S. company to partner with ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) to apply the organization’s third-party certification system to recycled plastics in the U.S. Considered the gold standard for sustainable chemicals and plastics accreditation, ISCC PLUS is an internationally recognized certification process for circular and sustainable content that audits the supply chain from end to end.
