ISCC – International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is a certification system that provides conformation of sustainable, deforestation-free and traceable supply chains of agricultural, forestry, waste and residue raw materials, non-bio renewables and recycled carbon materials and fuels.

ISCC enables the independent third-party certification of materials in the chemical, energy, feedstock and food industries. The ISCC standards require the adoption and continued compliance with key principles and criteria concerning biodiversity and non-conversion of natural habitats and protected areas, labour and social issues governing farming and sustainable farming practices, protection of carbon-rich areas, traceability and measured and quantified greenhouse gas emissions and other optional extra environmental performance measures (chemical use, energy accountability in manufacturing, non-GMO use and other aspects)

The following are some of the useful applications of the ISCC PLUS scheme, for products to demonstrate alignment with internationally recognised sustainability criteria:

  • Bio-based feedstocks: feedstocks that are derived from biomass (biodegradable fraction of products, wastes and residues- in addition to the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste) can be certified as ISCC PLUS as well as ISCC EU certified.

  • Circular feedstocks: material derived from the mechanical and/or chemical processing of recyclable materials of non-biological origin (fossil-based) can be verified and certified as ISCC PLUS.

  • Renewable feedstocks: material of non-biological origin, using renewable energy sources in which the input material does not contain fuelled energy can be verified and certified as ISCC PLUS.

The independent third-party certification, working under our partnership with the accredited company DoubleHelix, ensures compliance with strict criteria concerning biodiversity and prevention of land conversion, social practices, greenhouse gas emissions savings and the traceability of materials through the supply chain to the generation of the biofuel or biomass.

Gap Analysis

The accredited certifier, Double Helix can conduct a Gap Analysis to determine the current compliance and evidence that is missing to demonstrate your company’s compliance with the ISCC EU Standard. This is suggested prior to the certification audit to prevent a re-audit if your company is not confident of meeting the ISCC EU Standard.

Benefits of ISCC EU Certification

  • Greater access to international markets that require product traceability and assurances of provenance.
  • Acceptance of your product meeting key environmental, social and sustainability principles
  • Essential tool for brands and companies to demonstrate increased Corporate Social Responsibility.
  • Verification of your company’s ESG impact.
  • Accessibility to financial incentives that require certification and evidence that your outputs are contributing towards bio, renewables and circular economy.
