Chemical firm Nynas says it has received ISCC Plus certification for its products: Nytro Bio 300X and Nytex Bio 6200. Nynas offers bitumen and naphthenic specialty products for tyre applications.
ISCC Plus is a voluntary, globally recognised sustainability certification scheme that allows companies to demonstrate the sustainability credentials of their bio-based, bio-circular and circular materials. The certification scheme provides traceability across the value chain.
“We are pleased to have received this certification for our two bio-based products,” says Simon Day, VP Sales and Marketing at Nynas. “It confirms our commitment to providing our customers products with trustworthy sustainability credentials.”
Nynas says it has a broad portfolio of products with sustainable attributes originating from their quality and performance that contributes to, for instance, lower energy consumption, improved efficiency, recyclability and HSSE in various industry processes and applications.
“In recent years, we have expanded this offer with the introduction of products with sustainable raw material credentials,” notes Dr Gaia Franzolin, Marketing Director Naphthenics at Nynas.
“With our bio-based grades Nytro Bio 300X and Nytex Bio 6200, and the circular Nytro RR 900X, we continue our work to support Nynas’ and our customers’ development toward a more sustainable future.”
The ISCC Plus certification is gaining ground in many of the industries where Nynas’ customers are active.
“For instance, the tyre industry has started to introduce the certification to apply a mass-balance approach in the formulation of tyres using sustainable raw materials,” explains Marika Rangstedt, Manager Sustainable Development at Nynas. “Delivering certified raw material on demand is an important step in our continuous commitment to improving our performance and customer offering.”
