Acquired ISCC PLUS certification
Nissan Chemical Corporation (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: YAGI Shinsuke) announces that its Onoda Plant (Sanyo-Onoda City, Yamaguchi) has acquired ISCC PLUS certification*1, one of the international certification systems for sustainable products.
This acquisition of ISCC PLUS certification enables Nissan Chemical to allocate properties of sustainability derived from biomass materials to TEPIC®*2 made from bio-based raw materials under the mass balance method*3 based on the certification system and sell it.
Based on our corporate philosophy "Contribute to the protection of the global environment and the existence/development of humanity, offering the value sought by society" we will contribute to the sustainable development of society by further enhancing and strengthening our ESG initiatives through our business activities.
Onoda Plant
*1 ISCC PLUS certification: An international certification system, aimed at confirming that mainly bio-based feedstocks and recyclables are managed in the process of turning raw materials into final products in the entire supply chain using the mass balance approach.
*2 TEPIC®: Tri-functional epoxy compound product consisting of a triazine ring and three glycidyl groups. It has excellent features such as high transparency, high heat resistance, high light resistance, and high strength, and its main applications are powder coatings and electronic materials.
*3 Mass balance method: A method in which raw materials with certain properties (e.g., bio-based raw materials) are mixed with raw materials that do not have the properties (e.g., petroleum- based raw materials); the properties are thus assigned to a portion of the product according to the input of the raw materials having those properties.
Nissan Chemical Corporation pledges its commitment to complying with the ISCC PLUS requirements, in accordance with the latest ISCC regulations.
