HEXPOL AB HEXPOL TPE, the international polymer compounding group, has received the ISCC PLUS certification to produce TPE materials with certified bio +/or bio-circular content via the mass balance approach at their Åmål, Sweden site.
One path to bring a shift away from fossil feedstocks is to use the concept of mass balance. This chain of custody model makes it possible to mix fossil with recycled and/or biobased raw materials whilst keeping close track of the respective quantities. Mass balance allows for a gradual increase of the sustainable share with the target to reduce the use of fossil raw materials step by step.
ISCC PLUS is a global certification scheme providing traceability along the supply chain and guaranteeing correct and transparent use of the mass balance approach. Certified companies need to meet specific environmental and social standards, creating a chain of custody.
