Resonac Corporation announces that its Oita Complex has acquired ISCC PLUS certification, one of the international certification systems for sustainable products.
The company takes a step toward carbon neutrality by introducing biomass material into its ethylene plant.
Constructing Recycling-oriented Society
This acquisition of ISCC PLUS certification enables Resonac to allocate properties of sustainability derived from biomass materials to derivative products made partially from bio-based hydrocarbons under the mass balance method based on the certification system and sell these derivative products.
The date to start the sale of these derivative products will be decided after consultation with our business acquaintances.
Resonac’s Oita Complex has been using materials derived from petroleum as materials for ethylene plants in the past.
However, Oita Complex now considers partially substituting biomass materials for materials derived from petroleum.
Our aim of grappling with this issue is to put sustainable materials to practical use and construct a recycling-oriented society which leads to carbon neutrality.
Products that can be deployed with ISCC PLUS certification: ethylene, propylene, gases (hydrogen, methane, ethane, RG, C3LPG), vinyl acetate, etc. Resonac also plans to acquire ISCC PLUS certification for products of Olefins & Derivatives Business Unit/Oita Complex other than those mentioned.
