The ISCC Plus certification is a mark of distinction, granting us the authority to utilize chemically recycled raw materials using mass balance. We are proud to stand at the forefront of sustainable practices, setting a new standard in the industry. This certification holds immense value as it empowers us to employ chemically recycled polymers, including the highly acclaimed Eastman’s Eastar™ Renew resin, renowned for its advanced molecular recycling capabilities.
Global Reach: Certified Facilities in Montabaur, Germany, and Gordonsville and Rural Retreat, Virginia, USA
Our commitment to sustainability knows no bounds.

Driving Circularity: Transforming Medical Device Films with Renew
The ISCC Plus certification holds particular significance for our Pentamed® Medical Device films. By incorporating chemically recycled polymers, such as the revolutionary Renew, derived from Eastman’s Eastar™ Renew resin, we are actively reducing our reliance on virgin raw materials. This not only enhances the eco-friendliness of our products but also contributes significantly to waste diversion from landfills or incineration.
