Sabic launches certified renewable polyolefins portfolio

Sabic has announced that it will launch its first portfolio of certified renewable polyolefins, certified under the ISCC Plus certification scheme, which involves strict traceability and requires a chain of custody, based on a mass balance system.

The portfolio, which includes renewable polyethylenes (PE) and polypropylenes (PP), responds to the increasing demand for sustainable materials from SABIC’s customers, most notably in the packaging industry and is applicable for all its polyolefins grades, potentially for all market applications. Sabic is the first petrochemicals company to be able to produce renewable second generation PP and PE.
