ISCC PLUS: Enabling Recycling with Credibility

ISCC PLUS: Enabling Recycling with Credibility

Recycling—both mechanical and advanced—plays a critical role in building a circular economy. However, scaling these solutions requires more than technology alone; it requires transparency, traceability, and credibility across the value chain.

Why ISCC PLUS matters? 

Ensuring traceability and credibility

ISCC PLUS provides a globally recognized framework that brings traceability and mass balance into both mechanical and advanced recycling value chains. It enables recycled and circular feedstocks to be tracked from waste sourcing through recycling processes to final products—ensuring recycled content claims are verifiable, auditable, and trusted by brand owners, customers, and regulators, while extending the ISCC framework beyond fuel and energy applications under ISCC EU to non-fuel uses such as plastics and chemicals.

Supporting ESG and circular economy goals

Beyond traceability, ISCC PLUS supports ESG and circular economy objectives by enabling the use of recycled and circular feedstocks. It helps reduce reliance on virgin fossil resources and supports the market acceptance of recycling solutions across different applications.

How SCGC applies ISCC PLUS to Advanced Recycling

At SCGC, ISCC PLUS is applied to support the scaling of advanced recycling, where traceability is an important consideration in ensuring credibility across the value chain. The certification enables circular feedstocks derived from hard-to-recycle plastic waste to be transparently tracked and integrated into high-quality polymer applications, supporting the transition toward trusted and market-accepted circular solutions.
