Sustainability redefined: Henkel relies on ISCC Plus certification in Düsseldorf!

In the Henkel plant in Düsseldorf, the production of polyurethane has now received the ISCC Plus certificate, which is considered a benchmark for sustainability worldwide. This certificate certifies the use of alternative raw materials, within the framework of which fossil-based resources are replaced by bio-based, recycled or atmospheric CO2-based materials. A central element of this system is the mass balance model, which ensures that every stage of the supply chain - from the origin of the raw material to the dealer and the warehouse - is certified.

CAGRI Turkmen, Market Strategy Manager for flexible packaging adhesive at Henkel, emphasizes the importance of this change: "The use of bio -based materials in packaging is an important factor for sustainable procurement." The careful selection of raw materials helps to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint and to restrict the environmental impact to a minimum.

mass balance as a key factor

The mass balance sheet approach improves sustainability along the value chain by offering a high degree of transparency via the resources used without making a cutting out of product performance. This represents essential progress for the chemical industry, which is increasingly moving towards the circular economy. The changeover of fossil raw materials to renewable sources enables companies to measure recycling quotas exactly and to submit well -founded statements about their products to customers and end users.

Elodie Picard, the head of sustainability at Henkel, explains the importance of ISCC Plus certification: "We lay a significant foundation at the Düsseldorf location to reduce CO2 emissions. Our high-quality products support our customers in reaching their own sustainability goals-we accompany you on your way to the circular economy and help you to reduce your ecological footprint." In addition to this certification, Henkel plans to introduce laminated adhesives that integrate bio -based materials according to the mass balance concept.

The switch to bio -based materials not only shows a strong commitment to environmentally friendly solutions, but also traces a possible way for other companies in the industry. The ISCC-compliant production line obtained in this way will lead to significant progress in sustainability and serve as a model for future developments.
