Mitsui Chemicals Acquires Additional ISCC PLUS Certification

26 October 2023

Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. has this October acquired certification for one more product under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS system for certifying sustainable products.

Aiming to expand the social implementation of biomass-based products under a mass balance system, Mitsui Chemicals plans to continue working toward the acquisition of ISCC PLUS certification across the Mitsui Chemicals Group to contribute to further advances in society’s use of biomass.

*The Mitsui Chemicals Group has so far acquired ISCC PLUS certification for Osaka Works, Ichihara Works and Iwakuni-Ohtake Works. While only Osaka Works currently runs on bio-based hydrocarbons, the ISCC PLUS certification scheme will allow biomass certification to be used on derivatives produced at Ichihara Works and Iwakuni-Ohtake Works going forward.

Products already eligible to use ISCC PLUS certification (37 products, including the two new additions)

*The Mitsui Chemicals Group pledges its commitment to complying with the ISCC PLUS requirements, in accordance with the latest ISCC regulations, and to avoiding the practice of double counting the Group’s environmental contributions.
