TekniPlex Consumer Products, a globally integrated provider of innovative solutions through materials science and manufacturing technologies, has obtained ISCC Plus Certification (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) for its manufacturing facility in Dublin, Va. The designation allows the company to certify the percentages of advanced recycled polypropylene (PP) included in the food-sector solutions produced at the plant, including deli packaging.
The sought-after certification centers around a key conundrum of advanced recycled — also called chemically recycled — plastic resins. Compared with conventional mechanical recycling, chemical recycling produces pristine resins functionally equal and virtually indistinguishable from virgin materials. For that same reason, companies incorporating advanced recycled plastics into products must keep careful track of these materials to avoid false or misleading sustainability claims.
