AdvanSix achieves ISCC Plus certification

AdvanSix, a Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey-based diversified chemistry company, has been certified to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus standard for three of its manufacturing sites.

ISCC Plus is a voluntary certification system for developing sustainable supply chains. Verified through an audit, the ISCC Plus certification verifies and validates the adoption of clear, transparent and traceable practices, especially for organizations applying the mass balance approach to track amounts and sustainability characteristics of feedstocks. This approach tracks AdvanSix’s use of recycled materials at its sites.

“AdvanSix is dedicated to enabling solutions that not only reflect our sustainability focus, but also help our customers transform and meet their own environmental goals, all while building a socially responsible future,” AdvanSix President and CEO Erin Kane says. “Achieving ISCC Plus certification reflects our commitment to supporting sustainable manufacturing for a better world.”

The current ISCC Plus certification covers AdvanSix’s vertically integrated sites in Frankford, Pennsylvania, Hopewell, Virginia, and Chesterfield, Virginia, which support production of nylon solutions, plant nutrients and chemical intermediates. 

AdvanSix says this certification complements its existing recycled nylon product lines with 100 percent postindustrial recycled content and 100 percent postconsumer recycled content, each bearing SCS Recycled Content Certifications.

The company says its ISCC Plus certification enables customers to accelerate progress in meeting their sustainability goals through the creation of downstream products, including packaging, textiles, cars and electric wiring.
