Together with the company’s Stenungsund and Perstorp sites in Sweden, Bruchhausen is now a part of Perstorp’s strategic shift from fossil to renewable raw materials and energy. The independent third-party ISCC certified products come with a Proof of Sustainability document which states the product's contribution to sustainable sourcing according to the certified mass balance system.
“With Voxtar, back in 2010, we were the industry’s first supplier to launch a renewable Penta,” said Jan Secher, president and CEO at Perstorp. “In 2018, our Pro-Environment Polyols was honored with a Frost & Sullivan European Bio-Based Materials Product Leadership Award. This and the recent ISCC certification of our Bruchhausen site and the addition of three new Pro-Environment families as well as full suite of Services underscores our committed support for advancing the circular economy by shifting towards raw materials derived from renewable and waste sources."
