In 2023, SERMAG obtained the ISCC Plus certification, issued by the Italian certification body IIP (Italian Institute of Plastics).

ISCC is one of the most renowned and recognized certifications worldwide, having developed schemes that have become the benchmark for everything related to renewable energy, sustainability, packaging, food, and chemicals.

ISCC Plus is the scheme dedicated to bio-based materials, the circular economy, and everything produced using renewable energy.

The certification can be obtained by recyclers, processors, traders, and end users, since the scheme is based on the certification and control of the entire supply chain. For a product to be ISCC Plus certified, all upstream transformation stages must be ISCC certified as well, thus ensuring consistent standards throughout the production chain.

Only materials that are recycled, processed, and transformed by ISCC-certified facilities upstream can be ISCC Plus certified. For this reason, only polypropylene and high-density polyethylene with PCR origin were included.

SERMAG included in the certification its registered trademarks RIPLASTENE™ and PCRPOMIX™.

This is a very important achievement for Sermag, considering the complexity of the certification scheme and the high level of required standards.

The certification process that SERMAG has undertaken in recent years demonstrates great transparency to its customers, who consciously choose to purchase recycled raw materials instead of virgin ones, knowing they are buying safe, tested products with high quality standards.
