HEXPOL TPE German factory obtains ISCC PLUS certification

HEXPOL TPE’s factory in Lichtenfels, Germany received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS) in October.

ISCC PLUS is a global certification scheme that provides supply chain traceability and guarantees the correct and transparent use of mass balance methods. All companies in the supply chain must go through ISCC
PLUS audit process, which means that when HEXPOL TPE is purchased through ISCC
When PLUS certified raw materials, all upstream entities will be verified. Sustainability claims establish the chain of custody from the origin to the brand owner.

The mass balance allows for a gradual increase in the non-original fossil share of the polymer, with the goal of gradually reducing the use of fossil raw materials. This certification allows HEXPOL TPE to be produced through mass balance methods and certified by ISCC
PLUS certified bio-based, recycled and/or bio-recycled TPE materials.

Jochen Schneider, Managing Director of HEXPOL TPE, said: “We are delighted that the ISCC
PLUS Certified TPE adds to our growing portfolio of bio-based, biocomposites and polymers with recycled content. HEXPOL TPE
Commitment to sustainability and driving the de-petrification of the polymer industry. ”

HEXPOL TPE will offer mass-balanced grades of Dryflex TPE (TPS, TPO and TPU) material combinations. Epseal designed for food and beverage sealing applications
TPE is also within the range. Mass Balance TPE offers customers a highly efficient material alternative whose technical properties, chemical composition and regulatory status will be identical to the corresponding fossil grade.

Dr. Kevin Ament, Head of Coordination for Product Safety and ISCC at HEXPOL TPE, said: “For customers in tightly regulated markets such as care, food contact, toys and baby products, ISCC
PLUS certification is an important step. Mass Balance TPE uses feedstocks that are biobased, recycled, or biorecycling, but have the same quality, processability, and purity as fossil-derived feedstocks. ”

Following the HEXPOL TPE Swedish factory receiving ISCC PLUS certification in 2021, the company has once again expanded the range of mass-balanced products.
