Nippon Shokubai secures ISCC PLUS certification for US AA & SAP
Nippon Shokubai Group companies in the United States have acquired ISCC PLUS certification for acrylic acid (hereinafter "AA") and superabsorbent polymers (hereinafter "SAP") produced locally. This enables Nippon Shokubai Group to globally supply AA and SAP with a carbon footprint considered net zero. AA is widely used as a raw material for paints and adhesives, and serves as a key ingredient in SAP, which is used in disposable diapers. As a leading global supplier of AA and SAP, Nippon Shokubai Group has been working to obtain ISCC PLUS certification for products manufactured in Belgium, Japan, and Indonesia since 2021. Following the recent certification in the United States, Nippon Shokubai Group has established a four-region global supply system for ISCC PLUS-certified AA and SAP using biomass-derived raw materials allocated via the mass balance method. This enables the global supply of AA and SAP with a carbon footprint considered net zero. Nippon Shokubai Group's US companies have obtained ISCC PLUS certification for acrylic acid (AA) and superabsorbent polymers (SAP), enabling global supply of net-zero carbon products. With certified production now in four regions, the company supports reduced environmental impact and circular economy goals as part of its carbon neutrality vision for 2050. Through promoting the use of ISCC PLUS-certified AA and SAP, Nippon Shokubai Group aims to contribute to reducing environmental impact across the supply chain and to advancing a circular economy. Toward carbon neutrality by 2050, Nippon Shokubai Group will continue to implement the "transformation" outlined in its long-term vision and mid-term management plan to enhance customer value.

Austria's Borealis, AnQore launch world's first circular acrylonitrile
Borealis has partnered with AnQore to support the shift to a circular and renewable value chain for acrylonitrile (ACN)—a chemical used in everyday products such as cars, electronics, and water treatment solutions. The collaboration centers on the supply of Borealis' Borvida B-propylene, a sustainable feedstock made from ISCC PLUS-certified non-food waste biomass. Chemically identical to conventional propylene, AnQore uses it as a building block for Econitrile-MB— the world's first sustainable, Mass-Balanced ACN. Borvida B-propylene is part of the broader Borvida portfolio of renewable and circular base chemicals. Offering the same properties and performance as conventional base chemicals, they have a lower carbon footprint and also support the shift away from fossil feedstocks. Renewable content is tracked through the value chain using a Chain of Custody model, based on the Mass Balance approach. This means circular content can be traced and verified from source to final product. Borealis has partnered with AnQore to produce the world's first circular, mass-balanced acrylonitrile (ACN) using Borvida B-propylene, a sustainable ISCC PLUS-certified feedstock. The initiative supports reduced carbon emissionsâ€'up to 90 per cent lower than conventional ACNâ€'without compromising performance, enabling more sustainable products across multiple industries. Econitrile-MB produced using Borvida B-propylene from Borealis and sustainable ammonia has been in production for several years, offering end users a broader of sustainable solutions. Econitrile gives producers of ABS, acrylamide, carbon fiber, acrylic fiber, nitrile rubber, surfactants, and many other advanced materials a way to boost the sustainability of their products. With a carbon footprint up to 90% lower per kilogram than regular acrylonitrile, Econitrile offers a significantly more sustainable alternative without compromising on performance at all. 'At AnQore, we're striving to make the value chains for our specialist chemicals more sustainable, and that starts with the raw materials,' says Sjoerd Zuidema, CEO of AnQore . 'We're proud that, thanks to our partnership with Borealis, we're able to offer the world's first circular, mass-balanced acrylonitrile, and support our customers in making more sustainable products.' This partnership shows how Borealis is putting its We4Customers strategy into action by enabling customers like AnQore to access high-quality circular materials, backed by a secure supply and the flexibility and support needed to respond to changing market needs and regulations. 'This partnership shows that by working together across the value chain, we can unlock the value of waste,' says Thomas Van De Velde, Borealis Senior Vice President Base Chemicals . 'With AnQore, we're developing innovative, high-performance solutions that support customers' sustainability goals and help them prepare for future sustainable transformation.' AnQore is a trusted European producer of acrylonitrile and other key chemical building blocks, based at the Chemelot Chemical Park in Geleen, the Netherlands. AnQore focuses on delivering safe, secure, and sustainable solutions that help its customers stay ahead, whether in water treatment, consumer goods, or high-performance applications like automotive and electronics.
