Bio-styrene, an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional styrene, is making waves in the chemical industry. Made from renewable or recycled resources, bio-styrene offers a solution to the burgeoning demand for sustainable products, while aligning businesses with the green targets outlined in the European Green Deal.
Yet, the question remains - how can we ascertain the sustainable impact of bio-styrene? The answer lies in the application of the mass balance approach.
The mass balance approach is a well-established accounting method used to track the input of renewable or recycled content into the final product. Simply put, the quantity of sustainable materials used in the production process should be directly proportional to the quantity of sustainable content in the final product. For instance, if 20% of the raw materials are renewable, then 20% of the final product can be claimed as being made from renewable content. This approach enables companies to verify and communicate the sustainability of their products effectively. However, the process can be intricate due to the intermingling of renewable and non-renewable materials during manufacturing. Here, rigorous certifications such as ISCC+ (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) play a crucial role by offering transparency, traceability, and credibility to the claims made by businesses about their products.
The mass balance approach and certifications like ISCC+ are more than just business strategies. They are commitments to a more sustainable future and are pivotal for companies seeking to align themselves with the European Green Deal. The Green Deal, set in motion by the European Union, ambitiously aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030compared to 1990 levels, and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. For the chemical industry and producers of bio-styrene, these targets aren't simply regulatory thresholds to meet, they are opportunities for innovation and sustainability. By using the mass balance approach and obtaining sustainability certifications, companies can demonstrate their contribution towards a greener Europe and open doors to a growing market of environmentally conscious consumers.
