ISCC is one of the leading certification systems for sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions. In July 2011, the European Commission recognized ISCC as one of the first certification schemes to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Renewable Energy Directive’s (RED) in the European Union. Furthermore, ISCC PLUS has been developed for application in the fields of food, feed, technical or chemical (e.g., bio-plastics), and other bioenergy (e.g., solid biomass).
Mutu International is the first institution in ASEAN recognized by the ISCC GmbH (Germany) system with ID number 215, for both the ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS schemes. Mutu International conducts ISCC Certification covering food, feed, chemicals, and energy (biofuels, bioliquids, and waste-based biofuels). ISCC certification can be applied to meet legal requirements in the bioenergy market share as well as to demonstrate sustainability and traceability of raw materials in the food, feed, and chemical industries.
Advantages of ISCC system certification
