Teijin Receives ISCC Plus Certification For Biomass-Derived BPA PC Resins

摘要

Tokyo-Teijin Ltd. said it has received ISCC Plus certification enabling it to produce and market polycarbonate (PC) resin made from biomass-derived bisphenol A (BPA) in Japan. The biomass PC resin products offer the same physical characteristics as resins made of conventional petroleum-derived BPA, allowing them to be used in commercial applications. On 30 Jan. 2023, the company's Matsuyama and Mi-hara production sites in Japan began producing and marketing biomass PC resin products containing BPA made from biomass naphtha that was tracked with the mass-balance approach, as well as the conventional PC resin products using petroleum-derived raw materials.
