A PURCOM, leading polyurethane company, achieved ISCC Plus certification with the support of EXP4 consultancy and biO3 environment and sustainability. This recognition, based on the concept of mass balance, reinforces PURCOM's commitment to sustainability, ensuring traceability and transparency throughout the production chain. Through this strategic partnership, PURCOM adopts innovative and sustainable practices, highlighting the global polyurethane market. ISCC Plus certification proves PURCOM's dedication to the circular economy, and also strengthens its position as a reference in environmental responsibility.
The Chain of Custody and Mass Balance
PURCOM's ISCC Plus certification emphasizes the chain of custody concept, ensuring that all stages of production, from the origin of raw materials to the final product, are verified and certified to rigorous standards. This approach ensures the integrity of the sustainable material, promoting transparency and trust throughout the production process. Through the specialized support of EXP4 and biO3 environment, PURCOM implements practices that ensure complete traceability of materials, consolidating its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Mass balance is a crucial methodology for ISCC Plus certification, enabling PURCOM to attribute sustainable raw material inputs to final product outputs in an accurate and verifiable manner. This system promotes the efficient use of resources, reducing carbon footprint and aligning PURCOM operations with global sustainability goals.
The mass balance methodology is used to ensure traceability and transparency in the use of sustainable raw materials in various industrial sectors. This concept is based on the exact attribution of raw material inputs to finished product outputs., allowing an accurate calculation of how much sustainable material was actually incorporated into the final products. This is especially useful in complex industrial processes where different types of raw materials are combined throughout the production chain..
Benefits of Mass Balance:
- Transparency and Verification: Enables accurate and reliable verification of the use of sustainable materials, helping companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
- Regulatory Compliance: Facilitates compliance with environmental regulations and certification standards, such as or ISCC Plus.
- Resource Efficiency: Promotes efficient use of resources, minimizing waste and improving materials management.
Mass Balance Applications
- Chemical Industry: Used to track the origin and use of biological and recycled raw materials.
- Food Sector: Helps ensure organic or sustainable ingredients are correctly represented in final products.
- Energy Sector: Facilitates the allocation of carbon credits from the use of biofuels and other renewable sources.
The mass balance methodology is a powerful tool that contributes to the implementation of more sustainable practices, strengthening environmental responsibility and consumer confidence in certified products.
