Plastics and Packaging
We offer a credible sustainability certification standard for products linked to recycled and bio-based plastic. ISCC PLUS certification covers both chemical and mechanical recycling. By replacing fossil-based feedstocks with recycled or renewable raw materials, companies can significantly reduce plastic waste and limit the extraction of finite natural resources.
Closing the Loop: The Case for a Circular Economy
A circular economy aims to minimise waste by promoting sustainable design, durability, recycling, and the use of renewable resources. We support the transition to a circular economy with the ISCC PLUS certification system designed to validate sustainability characteristics of alternative feedstocks.
Market and Policy Drivers
Policy and voluntary frameworks are accelerating the shift to alternative materials:
Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets out the requirements for packaging placed on the EU market, including rules on packaging waste management and prevention.
Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive
The Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive aims to prevent and reduce the environmental impacts of disposable plastic products, with a particular focus on marine ecosystems and human health.
Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) & GHG Protocol
Aligning supply chains with verified emission reduction targets and transparent carbon accounting frameworks.
Recognised by Leading Standards
ISCC PLUS is recognised by regulatory bodies and international frameworks, such as the Korean Post-consumer Plastic Recycled Content Labeling Policy or the Dutch Green Deal “green certificates” for sustainable biomass in chemical products and plastics.
