What is ISCC PLUS Certification?

ISCC PLUS is an internationally recognized certification system that ensures the sustainability of raw materials and products derived from:

Bio-based sources (biomass, organic waste, used cooking oils)
Recycled materials (mechanically or chemically)
Raw materials of circular origin

This certification ensures compliance with environmental, social, and economic criteria throughout the entire supply chain, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and the more efficient use of resources.
