Chimei to launch Ecologue Bio-ABS products with ISCC PLUS approval in 2023
In Taiwan, Chimey Corporation said it is adding a range of international sustainability and carbon certification (ISCC) PLUS approved bioplastics to its newly released Ecologue sustainable materials portfolio.
The firm noted that ISCC PLUS adopts a mass balance approach to ensure that renewable materials are correctly calculated and used in production processes.
The ISCC PLUS approvals apply to ABS, SAN, MS (SMMA), HBR, and SSBR products, which are produced at Chimei’s factory in Tainan, Taiwan. The firm said it will officially launch ISCC PLUS bio-ABS products, under the Ecologue trademark, in the first half of 2023.
“Reaching carbon neutrality is a top priority for Chimei, and it should be paramount for everyone in our supply chain,” says Andrew Hsieh, Chimei’s sustainable material solutions manager. “By opting for materials that are made from renewable, biomass feedstock, a brand can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of its products, and distance itself from the oil industry. As more brands opt for sustainable material solutions, like bioplastics, their decision will reverberate upstream into manufacturing industries where it can really make a massive impact.”
