DIC Corporation announced that last month it acquired certification under ISCC PLUS, an international certification scheme for sustainable products, for a product manufactured by subsidiary DIC Epoxy (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

ISCC PLUS is a voluntary scheme that attests to the proper management of recycled and biomass-derived raw materials across the supply chain, including in production processes. This certification facilitates the use of raw materials to which the mass balance approach has been applied.

Additionally, the use of mass balance bio-allocated raw materials is expected to reduce the DIC Group’s largest product carbon footprint by 19.4％,‡ compared with conventional products that use fossil-derived raw materials.
