Toyobo Co., Ltd. and Toyoshina Film K.K., a Toyobo Group company, have received ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) Plus certification, an international certification designed to confirm the sustainable content of products. Toyobo is scheduled to start selling a bio-based, biaxially-oriented polypropylene (OPP) film as an ISCC Plus-certified product in autumn 2023. The properties of bio-based raw materials in the OPP film to be manufactured by Toyoshina Film will be assigned to a portion of the product based on the mass balance approach*1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISCC Plus certification, which is part of the ISCC certification system, is aimed at confirming that mainly bio-based feedstocks and recyclables are properly managed in the process of turning raw materials into final products in the entire supply chain using the mass balance approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toyobo Group has focused on developing eco-friendly films, including \u201cBIOPLANATM<\/sup>,\u201d a packaging film made with a mixture of biomass-based and non-bio-based ingredients. In a new approach aimed at supporting the supply of bio-based films, Toyobo will sell OPP films whose bio-based ingredients, including waste cooking oil, are assigned to a portion of the products using the mass balance approach. This biomass OPP film, which has performance levels equivalent to OPP films that use only petroleum-based ingredients, is mainly used for food packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under its Sustainable Vison 2030*2<\/sup> unveiled on May 26, 2022, the Toyobo Group has set a goal of raising the ratio of green films*3<\/sup> to 60 percent in fiscal 2030 and 100 percent in fiscal 2050. Taking this ISCC Plus certification as an opportunity*4<\/sup>, Toyobo will broaden its lineup of film products using bio-based raw materials, thus helping to realize a circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
