GERMANY - The Raukantex evo edgeband is the first Rehau product for which the company uses polypropylene (PP) based on non-fossil primary raw materials.

The polymer expert can now clearly prove this thanks to ISCC PLUS certification, which guarantees traceability throughout the entire value chain.

Raukantex evo – part of the sustainable Raukantex  eco.protect product range – is just one element of the holistic sustainability approach that Rehau has been pursuing for many years in the edgeband product segment.

As Daniel Elfe-Degel, Manager (Product Management) at Rehau Interior Solutions, explains: “To assure the source and the supply chain of raw materials used for Raukantex evo and make them transparent for customers, we have obtained ISCC PLUS certification for the edgeband. We can now guarantee this using the mass balance procedure, from primary raw material through to our product.”

ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) is a global certification programme for the circular economy and bioeconomy. The aim is to make the source and flow of sustainable raw materials transparent and secure along the entire value chain, in line with the mass balance approach. Certification facilitates traceability throughout the supply chain. An ISCC PLUS certificate also enables companies to verify, among other things, that their manufacturing processes conform to ISCC sustainability requirements and do not promote deforestation or the loss of biological diversity.
