Invista Kingston site earns ISCC PLUS certification
We’ve listened to industry feedback and are proud to offer the option for ISCC PLUS certified nylon 6,6 polymers and fibers to our customers
INVISTA’s manufacturing site in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, has received International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certification of its processes to verify and validate bio, circular and bio-circular adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine (HMD) use. This achievement marks another major milestone in the company’s global strategy and reinforces a dedication to stewardship via environmental protection, social responsibility, and operational transparency.
“We’ve listened to industry feedback and are proud to offer the option for ISCC PLUS certified nylon 6,6 polymers and fibers to our customers,” said Carl Brech, INVISTA Executive Vice President of Downstream Nylon. “This type of differentiated offering is another tool that can help them with their environmental goals.”
ISCC PLUS is a global certification system that verifies the sourcing and traceability of bio, circular, and bio-circular products applying a mass-balance approach. It validates consistency with environmental, social, and governance criteria throughout the supply chain, and it provides assurance to consumers and stakeholders regarding the production practices and use of resources.
Brech added, “It’s exciting for INVISTA to add this Kingston certification to the recently announced ISCC PLUS certification for our site in Victoria, Texas. This is a continued demonstration of us advancing our stewardship framework and providing our customers with valuable product options.”
The certification was awarded following a full independent, external audit by SCS Global Services, and will enable INVISTA to offer ISCC PLUS certified nylon 6, 6 polymers and fibers, which could be supplied globally from the Kingston facility.
