The certification reflects a major investment in Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology


Celanese Corporation, a global leader in specialty materials and chemicals, has earned Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) from International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its Hostaform and Celcon POM ECO-C grades at its Frankfurt and Bishop production sites.

The move expands the company’s network of certified facilities, empowering customers to reduce product carbon footprints and accelerate the shift to a circular economy.

“This milestone underscores Celanese’s commitment to sustainability and innovation,” the company said.

The certification reflects a major investment in Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology at Celanese’s Clear Lake, Texas facility, part of its Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co. One of the world’s largest active CCU plants, the facility captures CO₂ emissions and converts them into methanol, cutting fossil-based inputs without compromising material performance.

ISCC CFC certification provides third-party verification of carbon footprint reduction. And POM ECO-C maintains hallmark properties—high stiffness, thermal stability, sliding performance, and wear resistance—now with the lowest carbon footprint POM to date.
