ISCC+
International Sustainability & Carbon Certification
Ein nachhaltiges Zertifizierungssystem gewährleistet die Rückverfolgbarkeit in Lieferketten für nachwachsende Rohstoffe. Die ISCC PLUS Zertifizierung ist ein Bekenntnis zur Kreislaufwirtschaft und zur Produktion gemäß bioökonomischer Maßstäbe und umweltfreundlicher Gesichtspunkte.
One of the major advantages of the ISCC PLUS mass balance approach is the possibility to gradually increase the share of bio-based and/or circular feedstocks in the production process. In addition, the calculated share of bio-based and/or circular feedstocks can be attributed on an equivalent basis to one or several outputs. On this basis, the ISCC PLUS mass balance approach allows system users to make credible claims.
ISCC supports the transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy
In combination with the durability, which gives plastic its value in the first place, the missing waste management has led to severe environmental pollution. Most plastics never degrade but decompose into smaller particles and become microplastics. Hence, the long-term impact on the oceans, wildlife and ultimately humans is beyond imagination.
Find out how we fight against microplastics at NUDEC.
Bio-based alternatives to fossil components
In a circular economy, remaining virgin inputs can change to renewable feedstocks from responsibly managed sources. Bio-based materials reduce the dependency on limited fossil resources and are able to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Corn, sugarcane, vegetable oils or other plant materials, as well as second-generation biomass (e.g. bio-based wastes or crop residues) or third-generation biomass (e.g. seaweed, algae), can be used as feedstocks in the production process.
ISCC sustainability certification of circular and bio-based approaches
ISCC PLUS is a standard well-recognised by all stakeholders for recycled and bio-based materials. ISCC PLUS certification provides traceability along the supply chain and verifies that companies meet environmental and social standards. For companies using the mass balance approach, ISCC PLUS certification verifies that the mass balance accounting follows predefined and transparent rules.

ISCC+ NUDEC Certificate
NUDEC is certified in ISCC PLUS by the CGN certifier in March 2021 with the intention of manufacturing plastic sheets with raw material of sustainable origin, either bio-circular or recycled, through the mass balance approach. NUDEC’s ISCC PLUS certificate can be found by searching in the certifying company’s website or by clicking here.

Mass Balance
ISCC offers two chain of custody options for ISCC system users. Materials are either physically segregated in production processes throughout the supply chain or mixed in production but separated in bookkeeping (mass balance approach).
Why it is necessary?
Mass balance is about mixing fossil and renewable but keeping track of their quantities and allocating them to specific products.
Explained by SABIC
Mass balance approach is being increasingly used as we switch from using traditional fossil fuel feedstocks to more sustainable feedstocks to develop plastics.
Example of another sector
Mass balance ensures that while certified cocoa might not end up in every individual chocolate bar, the supply chain is still buying cocoa from Rainforest Alliance Cert. farms.

Kooperation zwischen NUDEC und SABIC zur Herstellung von auf erneuerbaren Rohmaterialien basierenden Polycarbonatplatten.
SABIC, ein weltweit führendes Unternehmen der chemischen Industrie, hat der internationalen Presse die Zusammenarbeit mit NUDEC, S. A. zur Herstellung von transparenten Polycarbonatplatten auf der Basis erneuerbarer zertifizierter Rohstoffe bekannt gegeben.
Die Fertigung des ISCC-zertifizierten NUDEC®PC Sortiments unter Verwendung des erneuerbaren Polycarbonatharz von Sabic trägt zu einer deutlichen Reduktion des Kohlenstofffußabdrucks bei, ohne dass sich die Produkteigenschaften der Platten von denen unterscheiden, die ausschließlich aus fossilen Rohstoffen hergestellt werden.
Der Produktionsprozess des ISCC PLUS zertifizierten Portfolios basiert auf einem Massenbilanzansatz, der die Rückverfolgbarkeit des erneuerbaren Rohstoffes durch die gesamte Lieferkette gewährleistet und eine künftige schrittweise Erhöhung des Anteils biobasierter und zirkulärer Rohstoffe ermöglicht.
Dies ist das Herstellungsschema für das Polycarbonatharz von SABIC auf der Basis nachwachsender Rohstoffe:
