Covestro as secured the ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) PLUS certification for its site in South Charleston, West Virginia, U.S.. The site specializes in the production of base polyether polyols and polymer polyols. These materials are used in a wide range of applications including automotive seating, mattresses, furniture, and more. The certification follows the successful ISCC PLUS certifications of other major Covestro facilities in the United States, including South Deerfield, Massachusetts, Newark, Ohio, and Baytown, Texas. This achievement reinforces Covestro’s commitment to sustainability and enables the certification of products made from recycled and bio-attributed raw materials. “This certification marks another milestone in our journey towards a circular economy and sustainable production,” said Barbara Buck, vice president and site manager of Covestro’s South Charleston facility. “It enables us to offer high performance products that help reduce our customer’s carbon footprint while supporting our strategy of producing in the region for the region.” The South Charleston site’s certification expands Covestro’s capability to provide sustainable solutions across its product portfolio including Hyperlite® CQ products. Covestro’s CQ product line, which stands for “Circular Intelligence,” is made up of products with attribution of at least 25 percent alternative raw materials derived from biomass or recycled plastics. The ISCC PLUS certification enables greater capacity to support these offerings. ISCC is an internationally recognized sustainability certification for biomass and bioenergy. The standard covers all stages of the value chain and is used worldwide. Covestro has major sites across all regions that are ISCC PLUS certified. Among them are world-scale sites like Baytown, Texas; Leverkusen, Dormagen and Krefeld-Uerdingen, Germany; Shanghai, China; Map Ta Phut, Thailand; and Antwerp, Belgium.
