BASEL, Switzerland - H.B. Fuller (NYSE:FUL), a global leader in adhesive technologies, has achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS for its manufacturing facilities in Lüneburg and Nienburg, Germany. The certification recognizes the company's efforts to adhere to international sustainability standards throughout its supply chain.
The ISCC PLUS is a certification system that endorses the sustainable management of biomass, circular materials, and renewables. It employs a mass balance approach to ensure traceability of sustainable materials in the supply chain.
Nathalie Ruelle, H.B. Fuller's global quality and sustainability director, stated that the company is continuously seeking ways to offer more sustainable solutions and help its customers achieve their environmental goals. The Lüneburg plant, now certified for the mass balance approach, produces the near carbon-neutral adhesive Advantra® Earthic™ 9370, used in various packaging industries and investing in sustainable raw materials.
At the Nienburg site, recognized as a specialty chemical plant, several core adhesives, including Rakoll® 5010, 5016, and 4020, are being manufactured using bio-attributed raw materials through the mass balance approach. This process not only reduces CO2 emissions but also has the potential for broader application in textiles and automotive manufacturing.
