Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Standard recognises International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)

The clauses that say so

• 5.3 · 5.3 Increasing Demand: Incorporating Cycled and/or Renewable Content

  Standard named

  ISCC PLUS

  Level required

  Bronze

  Applies to

  Pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content

  Evidence tier

  binding

  Per Version 5.0, fuel may not be counted as recycled content. This is an option within the ISCC PLUS standards referred to as "certified energy excluded attribution". This option must have been employed/ selected to receive credit for ISCC PLUS certification. Further, the ISCC PLUS standard must be re-evaluated for C2CPII-recognition in the event the EU Commission determines that petrochemical co-products (other than fuels) may not be counted as recycled content.

• 5.3 · 5.3 Increasing Demand: Incorporating Cycled and/or Renewable Content

  Standard named

  ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification

  Level required

  Bronze

  Applies to

  Pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content

  Evidence tier

  binding

  The carbon and oxygen content in "low carbon CCU MeOH" that stems from captured post-industrial carbon dioxide can be considered pre-consumer recycled. A point of origin declaration is needed for the captured carbon dioxide.

• 5.3 · 5.3 Increasing Demand: Incorporating Cycled and/or Renewable Content

  Standard named

  ISCC PLUS

  Level required

  Bronze

  Applies to

  Biological and biologically derived materials/renewable content

  Evidence tier

  binding

  On the certificate, the material needs to be attributed as "bio" or "bio-circular" only. "Circular" cannot be considered renewable and is out of scope. Recognition does not include responsible sourcing. Additional information on the biological material source is needed to confirm that they do not require responsible sourcing, depending on achievement level. Examples of biological sources that require responsible sourcing from Bronze are wood, oil palm and material from fisheries.

• 5.4/5.3 · Increasing Demand: Incorporating Cycled and/or Renewable Content

  Standard named

  ISCC PLUS

  Level required

  Bronze

  Applies to

  Pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content

  Evidence tier

  binding

  Per Version 4.1, fuel may not be counted as recycled content. This is an option within the ISCC PLUS standards referred to as "certified energy excluded attribution". This option must have been employed/ selected to receive credit for ISCC PLUS certification. Further, the ISCC PLUS standard must be re-evaluated for C2CPII-recognition in the event the EU Commission determines that petrochemical co-products (other than fuels) may not be counted as recycled content.
