LG Chem Ltd. (Seoul, South Korea) has obtained ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) Plus for bio-balanced products produced from renewable plant-based raw materials such as waste cooking oil and palm oil. LG Chem received ISCC Plus certification on nine bio-balanced products, including SAP (superabsorbent polymer), PO (polyolefin), and PC (polycarbonate) compounds, which are both the first and the most certifications in Korea.
ISCC Plus is an international certification system that meets the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directives, the most stringent standards in the world, serving as the major authority in identifying the sustainability of eco-friendly bio products.
