Happy New Year 2024 **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Forum Website) ***************** In January 2024, the epoxy resin products produced by Yangnong Jinhu, a subsidiary of Sinochem International, passed the audits conducted by the authoritative third-party certification body SGS and obtained ISCC PLUS certification (International Sustainable Development and Carbon Certification), making it the first epoxy resin manufacturer in China to hold such certification. This indicates that Sinochem International now has the capability to supply customers with epoxy resin products containing renewable and recyclable raw materials. It also serves as strong evidence of the green and low-carbon advantages of Sinochem International’s epoxy resin products, helping to reduce the carbon tax costs associated with their export and enhancing their competitiveness in international markets. ISCC certification (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) is the first international certification to meet the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive; it is also a certification system that verifies the sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction capabilities of various biomass and bioenergy sources. Currently, the ISCC certification system has over 4,800 valid certificates in more than 100 countries and regions, making it one of the largest certification systems in the world. It mainly includes three types of certifications: ISCC EU, ISCC PLUS, and ISCC CORSIA. Among them, ISCC PLUS is applicable to all industries worldwide, with \"sustainability\" and \"traceability\" as its two core principles. Based on the principles of mass balance auditing, it verifies the origin of waste materials, ensures the traceability of sustainable materials throughout the value chain, reduces carbon emissions, and enhances a company’s core competitiveness and advantages.
