Driving Sustainable Innovation at Follmann! The production of adhesives from mass-balanced raw materials and the reduction of dependence on petrochemical sources is a significant step towards a circular economy. We are incredibly proud to have achieved this milestone, which reinforces our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We're excited to announce that Follmann has achieved the ISCC Plus (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) for our Minden production facility. This certification is a globally recognized standard for sustainable and transparent supply chains, ensuring a reliable chain of custody and confirming that our products are produced using sustainable practices and mass-balanced raw materials, significantly reducing our reliance on petrochemical raw materials. The ISCC Plus certification enables us to use mass-balanced raw materials, integrating biobased or recycled resources early in the production process and assigning them to finished products through a calculated approach. This certification is currently particularly relevant for our hotmelt products, and we are excited to expand its benefits to our dispersion adhesives, coatings, and printing inks in the future. Using our ISCC Plus certified products helps customers significantly reduce their carbon footprint, with quantifiable CO2 emissions savings compared to conventional products. It also enhances their sustainability profile and corporate social responsibility (CSR) by incorporating certified sustainable products into their supply chain, with clear documentation for sustainability reporting. The mass balance approach ensures that sustainable raw materials are part of the production process from the beginning and are accounted for in the final products. This helps us provide our customers with high-performing, sustainable adhesives without altering existing formulations, processing equipment, or manufacturing processes. This milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable innovation. Kudos to the entire Follmann team for this remarkable achievement! #Sustainability #Innovation #ChemicalIndustry #Follmann #ISCCPlus #EnvironmentalResponsibility #SustainableProducts #GreenChemistry #MassBalance
