Performance Polymers Products Site in Japan Acquires ISCC PLUS Certification
September 2, 2024
The Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG Group) hereby announces that Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation’s operational site in Nagoya City, Aichi, Japan (SCM Section, Production Management Group, Performance Polymers Japan Department) was certified in April 2024 under International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS, an international certification system for sustainable products.
This certification ensures that recycled and biomass materials are properly managed in the supply chain, including in the manufacturing of products. With this certification, the company is now able to offer performance polymers products (thermoplastic elastomers, functional polyolefins, etc.) based on the mass balance approach※.
Through the acquisition of this certification and the provision of certified products, the MCG Group will continue to contribute to the social implementation of sustainable products made from recycled and biomass materials.
※The mass balance approach is a method of controlling a value chain in which, when multiple raw materials (e.g., a petroleum-derived raw material and a recycled raw material derived from waste plastics) are mixed to manufacture products, the percentage of sustainable raw material used (i.e., the recycled raw material) can be allocated to the same percentage of any given products.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation pledges and declares that it will comply with the requirements of ISCC PLUS certification in accordance with the latest regulations of ISCC.
