ISCC Plus Certification
Plastics Industry’s Role in Circular Economy and the ISCC Plus
The earth is facing major challenges: Climate change, resource scarcity and impaired ecosystems require new solutions. The circular economy and sustainable use of waste are key to this. The plastics industry can make a decisive contribution by focusing on the circular economy and promoting sustainable solutions. Only through a holistic approach can a truly sustainable world be created: With the globally used ISCC Plus certification system, the CO2 footprint can be successively reduced and the proportion of fossil raw materials replaced by renewables.
ISCC Plus-Certified TPE Compounds: Sustainable Solutions for Consumer Goods and Medical Technology
ACTEGA offers selected TPE compounds with ISCC Plus certification. Mass balancing is used to ensure compliance with various social and ecological standards in a comprehensive test. From now on, not only manufacturers of consumer goods and medical technology can benefit from these solutions, but also their end consumers, patients and operating personnel. The mass balancing procedure in accordance with ISCC Plus enables seamless traceability in the supply chain, including proof of origin for raw materials and materials. Users of TPE plastic granules in sensitive application areas such as consumer goods, food contact applications and medicine in particular benefit from these certificates, as there are no additional costs for material certification and qualification.

Energy Efficiency in Focus: ACTEGA Reduces Carbon Footprint with New Solar System
Regardless of a mass-balanced product solution, it is of major importance for ACTEGA to reduce its carbon footprint. Ambitious measures to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are crucial to demonstrate a commitment to a more sustainable future. Power generation for production plays a central role in this. The photovoltaic system at the Bremen site is an example of how companies can take responsibility for the environment. ACTEGA has installed a new 1,000 kWp photovoltaic system on the roof of the 7,600 m² building in Bremen, which is expected to generate over 850,000 kWh of electricity per year. This system utilizes the entire available area of the new ACTEGA building and supports the company's sustainability goals.
