Circular Economy & Bioeconomy
Public awareness of the need to stop using fossil oil and gas to produce chemicals and plastics we rely on rises – recognising that these useful substances need to become fully decoupled from the consumption of finite resources. More and more companies are now replacing fossil feedstock with recycled and renewable raw materials for their production and in doing so stopping waste going to landfill and instead converting it into a valuable product. ISCC is committed to support the shift towards the circular economy and bioeconomy. Companies can manifest their contributions via the use of the credible ISCC PLUS system. Recycled or bio-based products that are certified to the ISCC PLUS standard provide companies, brand owners and consumers with the assurance that high sustainability requirements are met.
