Celanese Corporation, a global leader in specialty materials and chemicals, has received Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) from the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC). The certification covers its Hostaform® and Celcon® POM ECO-C grades at production sites in Frankfurt, Germany, and Bishop, Texas. This achievement expands Celanese’s network of certified facilities and supports customer efforts to reduce product carbon footprints.
The certification highlights Celanese’s dedication to sustainability and innovation. It was made possible through significant investments in Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology at its Texas facility. The company’s joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., operates one of the largest CCU plants globally. The process captures CO₂ emissions and converts them into methanol, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Celanese emphasized that the certification verifies its commitment to lowering environmental impact. The POM ECO-C grades maintain high stiffness, thermal stability, sliding performance, and wear resistance; now with the lowest carbon footprint of any POM product.
The Frankfurt and Bishop sites strengthen Celanese’s leadership in sustainable engineering plastics. The company aims to support customers’ sustainability goals through certified, environmentally friendly products.
To enhance transparency, Celanese offers Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) letters through its AskChemille.com digital platform. This tool provides Life Cycle Assessment data, enabling customers to make more informed, eco-conscious decisions. The integration of GHG emissions data supports broader efforts to reduce environmental impacts across industries.
Celanese’s milestones demonstrate its ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation. Expanding certified production sites and offering transparency tools help accelerate the transition toward a circular economy.
