Evonik Production Site in North America Receives ISCC PLUS Sustainability Certification
Evonik’s site in Mobile, Alabama, has been awarded the ISCC PLUS sustainability certificate for its use of renewable acetone in the production of isophorone-based products. The accreditation of the site at Mobile allows Evonik to produce and market its renewable isophorone-based, VESTA eCO series in the United States for the first time. European production started in 2022 following the Herne, Germany Crosslinkers production site’s certification.
Using acetone made from renewable bio-circular materials derived from industrial waste like used cooking oils integrated with existing feedstocks, enables Evonik to provide a renewable isophorone platform of isophorone, -diamine and -diisocyanate products on the market. By reducing its reliance on fossil-based acetone, Evonik is lowering the carbon footprint of its own production, while also supporting customers in the region to address their own sustainability, CO2 reduction and environmental regulation demands.
