In Germany, Covestro reported that its production site in Baytown, Texas, USA received the ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) PLUS certification. The Baytown site is the company’s largest operating facility in North and South America and its third-largest production site worldwide. “Thanks to this new milestone, Covestro will soon be able to serve even more customers around the world with an easily accessible, more sustainable product portfolio,” said Sucheta Govil, Chief Commercial Officer of Covestro. “Customers in North America can now reduce their carbon footprint and Scope 3 emissions with drop-in, mass-balanced materials derived from recycled and bio-attributed products,” the executive added. Covestro claims to be the first manufacturer of polyurethane and polycarbonate raw materials to receive this certification in the United States. The certification is an important milestone for both Covestro and the industries it serves, including the automotive, construction, comfort, electronics and appliance industries, which will now have access to ISCC PLUS-certified products made from more sustainable raw materials in North America, the firm said.
