Evonik has received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS for the production of specialty chemicals at the Essen Goldschmidt site. The certification is based on the mass balance approach, which ensures that sustainable raw materials are used and that the supply chain is traceable.
The Essen Goldschmidt site thus follows other Evonik sites. "Thanks to the ISCC PLUS certification of our specialty chemicals production, such as surfactant production, our customers in the coatings and printing inks, adhesives, polyurethane foams and personal care products sectors have access to a broader range of certified additives with a higher proportion of renewable raw materials," says Dr. Claudine Mollenkopf, Head of the Specialty Additives Division.
