Stahl secures ISCC PLUS re-certification
Leather chemicals group Stahl has secured successful re-certification of two manufacturing sites, in Germany and the Netherlands, according to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS standard. Certification was awarded by certifying body TÜV NORD.
Group Director of ESG at Stahl, Michael Costelo said: “Mass-balance certification verifies that Stahl’s manufacturing sites adhere to the highest standards of traceability, which is required to produce high-performing products containing both fossil- and renewable-derived feedstocks.
Certification also requires a transparent chain of custody for the renewable raw materials used by the reporting company. This is essential to mitigate potential upstream supply chain risks, making ISCC PLUS certification a key tool for promoting greater supply chain transparency across the industry.”
The ISCC PLUS-certified products manufactured at Stahl’s Waalwijk and Leinfelden locations include selected polyurethane coatings for flexible materials such as textiles, film and paper. The polyurethanes are made with between 20% and 70% renewable attributed biomass and recycled content. These products have the same performance as traditional fossil-based alternatives.
