Innovia Films extends ISCC Plus certification

Innovia Films has expanded the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus certification (ISCC) to production plants based in Australia, Belgium, and the UK, following significant interest in its increasing commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and adopting a circular economy model.

Certificate extension allows Innovia to produce a range of Encore sustainable films globally

ISCC is an independent multi-stakeholder organization providing a globally applicable certification system for the sustainability of raw materials and products. Its extension to more production plants allows Innovia to produce a range of Encore sustainable films globally, supplying certified renewable materials (ISCC Plus bio-circular material) and certified circular material (ISCC Plus circular material).

Paul Watters, product development manager for packaging at Innovia Films, commented: ‘The sustainable team based in Wigton supported the work that the local cross-functional plant teams undertook in very tight timescales. To achieve ambitious schedules meant they had to adopt a well-coordinated and collaborative team approach. These additional certifications show our commitment to increasing our manufacturing footprint of certified renewable and recycled content films in line with customer demand for these types of products.’

Innovia has also developed its own internal Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) program, which enables the measurement of key sustainability metrics, including carbon footprint and fossil scarcity, on a cradle-to-gate basis.
