CORE™ Bio-based Vinyl Plastisols Bio-derived PVC dispersions They are formulated with renewable plant resources and are a good alternative for markets and applications affected by Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) guidelines.

The ISCC PLUS certification is a voluntary system applicable to the bioeconomy and circular economy for food, feed, chemicals, plastics, packaging, textiles, and renewable feedstock derived from a process using renewable energy sources. The European Commission recognizes it as compliant with the Renewable Energy Directive (recast) (RED II).   Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility    

Finding value when addressing an increased demand for bio-derived solutions The surge in demand for bio-derived solutions is reshaping many industries. Among them are CORE™ Bio-based Plastisols formulated with at least 25% bio content derived from renewable natural resources.

The new reSound™ NF bio-filled grades are based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP) with 15 to 20 percent bio-based filler. Demand is rising for consumer products that utilize more recycled and renewable materials.
