Huntsman Advanced Materials recently implemented the Mass Balance Concept to reduce the environmental impact of products and solutions we offer. Customers interested in achieving their sustainability goals can intentionally select a product with a substantially lower carbon footprint without compromising performance. Our Monthey, Switzerland facility is REDCert2 Certified.
Learn moreMass balance refers to the mixing of fossil-based and renewable or recycled raw materials into existing systems and production processes, while tracking their quantities, translating them into Mass Balance Units (MBUs equivalents), and attributing them to specific products. A third party then certifies and confirms the recycled or renewable content of final products. Mass balance simultaneously empowers customers to reach their sustainability targets while reducing our own environmental footprint.
Founded in 2010 to support the implementation of the Sustainability Ordinances, REDcert actively promotes biofuels and liquid biomass certified as sustainable. In 2018, the scope was expanded to include REDcert2, which includes the efforts of the chemical industry to reduce greenhouse gases and conserve fossil-based resources in favor of sustainably produced and certified biomass.
