The biomass balance approach

Reduce COemissions and save fossil raw materials in the styrenics value chain

With the REDcert-certified biomass balance (BMB) approach, fossil resources needed to produce our products can be replaced 100% by renewable raw materials. This production method saves valuable resources while reducing the CO2 impact.

The biomass-balanced products Styrene BMB, Styropor® BMB, Neopor® BMB and Styrodur® BMB protect the environment and climate without sacrificing the usual quality: This is because they are unchanged from their fossil counterparts in terms of formulation and properties.

How does the biomass balance approach work?

Our biomass balanced product portfolio

The biomass balanced products offer our customers a differentiation opportunity such as a quantifiably improved CO2 footprint and savings of fossil resources. Customers can rely on the identical product quality and performance to which they are accustomed to and benefit from a sustainable drop-in solution, making a conscious contribution to environmental protection.
