Synthetic rubber materials firm Arlanxeo has announced that its Therban (HNBR) and Buna (BR) manufacturing units at the Orange, Texas site have successfully achieved ISCC Plus certification. This certification enables the site to manufacture and supply products under the Arlanxeo Eco label, which comprises the company’s portfolio of ISCC Plus-certified sustainable elastomers based on the mass balance approach.
This certification enables Arlanxeo to offer customers in North America and global markets verified sustainable solutions that help reduce overall carbon footprints while maintaining the performance and reliability associated with Therban and Buna products.
As the first Therban HNBR site to receive ISCC Plus certification, the Orange location plays a central role in expanding Arlanxeo’s offering of sustainable high-performance elastomers.
Edwin Grootendorst, Global Head of Business Specialty Elastomers, emphasised the milestone: “The Orange site is the first Therban HNBR production facility to receive ISCC Plus certification and further strengthens the sustainability mission of Arlanxeo, as well as the Eco portfolio of the Specialty Elastomers cluster.”
The inclusion of Buna BR from the Orange site adds further depth to the company’s sustainable product offering.
ISCC Plus is a globally recognized certification system designed to ensure traceability, transparency, and responsible sourcing throughout the value chain. By integrating circular and renewable raw materials via the mass balance methodology, Arlanxeo adds it can offer Eco grades that enable customers to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising technical performance.
