On February 13, 2023, Altium Packaging, a leading plastic packaging manufacturer, announced that its Allentown, PA, facility has received ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) PLUS certification.
The ISCC PLUS certification enables Altium to replace a portion or all of the virgin resin with a certified circular polymer in order to manufacture products with the same material performance as virgin. Altium will be able to offer in-demand certified circular products to market and give clients circular material alternatives on a mass balance basis to satisfy their sustainability goals with this certification.
ISCC certification is a worldwide recognized standard for the sustainable production of biomaterials, biofuels, and other products. It ensures that the raw materials used in producing these products are sourced sustainably and that the manufacturing process adheres to stringent environmental and social standards.
Altium's Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer Brian Hankin commented, "This certification demonstrates our ongoing dedication to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices throughout our supply chain." He added, "We are committed to continuing our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainable production in the future, and we look forward to working with our partners to do so. We will also work to certify additional sites as circular material supply and demand increases."
