Celanese POM ECO-C setting a new sustainability benchmark in POM
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global leader in specialty materials and chemicals, has achieved Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) from International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its Hostaform and Celcon POM ECO-C grades at production sites in Frankfurt, Germany, and Bishop, Texas expanding its network of certified facilities to empower customers to reduce product carbon footprints and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. This milestone underscores Celanese's commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Advancing Lower-Carbon Solutions
This certification is the result of Celanese's major investment in Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology at its Clear Lake, Texas facility as a part of its Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui Co., Ltd. one of the world's largest active CCU plants. The process captures CO2 emissions and converts them into methanol, reducing fossil-based inputs without compromising material performance.
Key Highlights:
- Certified Sustainability: ISCC CFC certification provides third-party verification of carbon footprint reduction.
- Performance Retained: POM ECO-C maintains hallmark properties high stiffness, thermal stability, sliding performance, and wear resistance now with the lowest carbon footprint POM to date.
- Global Reach: Certification at Frankfurt and Bishop strengthens Celanese leadership in sustainable engineering plastics.
