We are pleased to announce that, in addition to the certification renewals at Yoshida Cosmeｗorks and Ashikaga Yoshida, Shizuoka Yoshida has also been certified under ISCCPLUS*1, one of the international third-party certification systems for sustainable products. Through certified products based on the mass balance approach*2 under the ISCC PLUS standard, we commit to supporting the transition to a circular economy and a bioeconomy.
*1: ISCC PLUS Certification is one of the international sustainability scheme operated by ISCC (the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), it specifically supports the transition to a circular and bio-based economy. This voluntary certification standard validates the sustainability characteristics of alternative feedstocks throughout the entire supply chain, from origin to end consumer.
*2: The mass balance approach is a chain of custody method used to trace the flow of alternative feedstocks through complex value chains. During the production process, certified feedstocks are mixed with conventional materials, resulting in products that are physically indistinguishable from those made solely from conventional feedstocks. By using the mass balance system, companies can document and track the exact amount of alternative feedstocks used, ensuring that the quantity of alternative feedstocks allocated to the product matches the quantity sourced at the start of the production. One of the major advantages of the mass balance approach is its flexibility: companies
can gradually increase the share of alternative feedstocks in the production process without altering the existing infrastructure.
