ProAmpac, formerly Ultimate Packaging, a global leader in flexible packaging, announced today their Grimsby, UK facility received the International Sustainability Carbon Certification Plus (ISCC Plus), a global sustainability certification system which supports the tracking of chemically recycled polymers and bio-based polymers through the supply chain.
The ISCC Plus certification allows ProAmpac to provide support documentation confirming their customers are receiving ISCC certified chemically recycled resin or bio-based resin products. Both chemically recycled resins as well as the addition of bio-based resins provide another layer of sustainability for flexible packaging produced at the ProAmpac Grimsby location, further reducing the need for virgin plastic resin.
“The ISCC Plus certification for our facility means at every stage the sustainable materials have been accounted for, and traced through all stages of production,” said Jeremy Hodson, managing director of ProAmpac’s Grimsby facility.
“The ISCC Plus certification is the preferred system for controlling recycled content material,” Lynsey Maddison, ProAmpac technical manager, said. “With the limited supply of chemically recycled polymers today, polymer suppliers prefer to sell only to ISCC Plus certified companies which helps us get these new, more sustainable products to market much faster for our customers.”
