Formerra Secures ISCC PLUS Certification For Enhanced Sustainable Material Distribution In U.S.

Formerra, a prominent player in the distribution of performance materials, has recently announced a significant achievement in its sustainability efforts. The company has successfully obtained ISCC PLUS certification for its U.S. legal entity, encompassing nine distribution warehouses throughout the United States. This certification is a testament to Formerra's commitment to promoting the circular economy and enhancing the availability of bio-based materials for its customers.

The ISCC PLUS certification empowers Formerra to manage and distribute materials that meet stringent environmental standards. This development is in response to the increasing demand for products that are not only high quality but also environmentally responsible. By achieving this certification, Formerra ensures that its sustainable materials maintain the same level of quality and consistency as traditional fossil-based materials, effectively addressing concerns about greenwashing.

Mike Balasko, Sustainability Director at Formerra, expressed his enthusiasm about the certification, stating, "Receiving ISCC PLUS certification reflects our ongoing dedication to sustainability and our ability to respond to our customers' needs." He further highlighted the strategic advantage of certifying nine warehouses across the U.S., which facilitates material accessibility and timely deliveries for customers with specific requirements.

The ISCC PLUS certification incorporates a mass balance approach. This method allows for the combination of sustainable and fossil-based feedstocks in a way that ensures the final product contains a measurable amount of sustainable content. This approach is particularly valuable for industries seeking to maintain high standards of performance, quality, and consistency without compromising on sustainability.

The certification process was rigorously audited by SCS Global Services. This audit confirmed that both Formerra's operational processes and policies, as well as its nine warehouses, meet the high standards set by ISCC PLUS certification. This achievement highlights Formerra's crucial role in supporting suppliers and processors who are keen on innovating with sustainable materials, including those that are bio-based or recycled.
