ISCC Plus: biomaterials certification
In the new economy, recycled content in new products and their packaging will be essential to proving their improved sustainability compared to competitive offerings.
Several schemes exist, of which the most widely recognized is ISCC Plus.
International sustainability standard applicable to all sectors using plant-based or recycled raw materials.
Raw Material Traceability
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. Adaptation options are available to suit each company and to its specific certification requirements (reduction of GHGs, non-GMO, biodiversity, use of human food, use of animal feed, etc.).
As part of the current debate on packaging, ISCC Plus certification offers an opportunity for innovative companies to show 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.
