Syensqo (Brussels, Belgium) says that its Heanor site in the U.K. has achieved third-party accreditation for the production of its portfolio of composite materials — formulated to introduce renewable or recycled raw materials (bio-based, recycled or mass balanced).
The certification is granted under the strict mass balance chain of custody outlined by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus standard.
This latest achievement adds on nine other sites that have been certified since 2023 across the group, demonstrating Syensqo’s ongoing commitment to integrating sustainable practices throughout its operations. The mass balance method enables the certification of renewable quantities and their allocation to specific products, enabling the gradual replacement of fossil materials in the supply chain.
With the launch of the ReGen portfolio roadmap in March 2025, Syensqo is strategically positioned to offer the market a range of composite materials made from renewable, recycled or mass balanced raw materials. This initiative aims to reduce the use of virgin fossil-based feedstocks in its formulations and reduce the carbon footprint of final products, all while maintaining the same performance standards.
