Arkema obtains mass balance ISCC PLUS certification for advanced liquid resins production facility in Pasir Gudang (Malaysia)

The ISCC PLUS certification of products made at the Arkema manufacturing site in Pasir Gudang follows certifications in the US, in Europe and in China. Arkema’s strategy is to progressively introduce a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV/LED/EB, and polyester powders.

To learn more about mass balance and other ISCC PLUS certifications announcements from Arkema Coating Solutions: Changshu (China), Nansha (China), Villers-Saint-Paul (France), Clear Lake (US), Sant Celoni (Spain), Taixing (China), Carling (France).

^{* Mass balance provides manufacturers with a methodology to track the certified materials as they move along the value chain and attribute the inputs of a production process, to outputs of that production process through certified bookkeeping. This distinct accounting method verifies that the certified feedstock has replaced an equivalent quantity of fossil raw materials at the beginning of the supply chain and can be attributed to the product-to-be-sold, ensuring that both input and output are balanced.

^{A bio-attributed content indicates that the use of a biobased feedstock has been ascribed using a mass-balance methodology. The bio-attributed content is the % breakdown based on the ISCC+ methodology calculation. It is a clear distinction to materials in which the biobased content can be verified using the radiocarbon method. [Source Arkema]}
