Enables incorporation of biomass and recycled materials
The ISCC PLUS program uses the mass balance approach to ensure proper control and traceability in global supply chains for products made from biomass or recycled materials.
This new certification enables the plants to incorporate biomass and recycled materials in those products, maintaining characteristics and physical properties comparable to those of PBT and LCP resins made from fossil-based feedstocks.
Toray previously obtained ISCC PLUS certification for the following resin products at its Nagoya, Tokai, and Chiba plants, and at Toray Advanced Materials Korea Inc., and Toray Plastics (Malaysia) Sdn. Berhad.
New supply systems at the Ehime and Nagoya plants will broaden Toray’s lineup to help customers reduce their carbon footprints.
