The ISCC PLUS certification, one of the world’s largest,
independent certification systems for sustainability, covers all
sustainable feedstocks, including biomass, circular materials and
renewables, and the mass balance approach, which is a
calculation-based method used to track the inputs and outputs of
mass within a system or a process. As defined by the ISCC PLUS,
this method calculates the use of sustainable materials, meaning
that every operational entity in the supply chain is ISCC certified
to ensure traceability.
“By continuously exploring ways to reduce our carbon footprint
and implementing new approaches, such as mass balance, we can now
offer more solutions with verified, tracked, biobased and recycled
raw materials throughout the entire supply chain,” said Nathalie
Ruelle, H.B. Fuller’s global quality and sustainability director.
“H.B. Fuller is on the right path to facilitate incremental
transition to alternative materials and reduce emissions, while
helping our customers achieve their own sustainability goals.”
H.B. Fuller’s Lüneburg, Germany, manufacturing plant was
certified as a compounding site for the mass balance approach and
is currently using this method to produce Advantra® Earthic™ 9370,
a near carbon-neutral adhesive used in the e-commerce, food,
personal and home care packaging industries. This product invests
in a high share of sustainable and bio-circular raw materials via
mass balance, while ensuring excellent performance.
H.B. Fuller’s Nienburg, Germany, manufacturing site was
certified as a specialty chemical plant. Three of the core
adhesives manufactured at this site ─ Rakoll® 5010, 5016 and 4020 ─
partially replace fossil raw materials with bio-attributed raw
material created via the mass balance approach. This not only
reduces CO2 emissions, it also has the potential to extend into
other manufacturing processes and products, such as textiles and
automotive.
