BASF’s Engineering Plastics Plants In Shanghai And Zhanjiang Certified ISCC PLUS

BASF’s engineering plastics plant in Minhang, Shanghai, and at the Zhanjiang Verbund site in Guangdong Province have been certified under ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) ^[1]. The certification covers renewable and recycled feedstocks and verifies their sustainable origin and allocation through a mass balance approach, offering independent traceability across the value chain.

The certification expands the availability of BASF’s ISCC PLUS-certified engineering plastics in China, enabling customers to advance their sustainability targets with confidence. By using ISCC PLUS-certified materials, customers – particularly in the automotive and electrical & electronics (E&E) industries – can rely on credible and transparent sustainability claims without compromising product quality or performance.

“The ISCC PLUS certification of our Shanghai and Zhanjiang operations reflects our commitment to delivering verified, low‑carbon material solutions at scale,” said Andy Postlethwaite, Senior Vice President, Performance Materials Asia Pacific. “Local certification strengthens supply reliability and helps customers accelerate their green transformation while maintaining the performance they require.”

The certification is part of BASF’s broader expansion of sustainable product offerings across Asia Pacific, extending ISCC PLUS coverage from Korea and Malaysia to additional sites in China, and enabling more traceable material choices for local customers. To date, close to 70% of BASF’s Performance Materials sites in Asia Pacific ^[2] have been ISCC PLUS certified, supporting customers’ green transformation goals across a wide range of industries.
