Inteplast Pioneers Mass Balance Certified BOPP Film

Inteplast Group’s biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) Films business unit has received ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) PLUS certification for three facilities: Gray Court, SC; Lolita, TX; and Morristown, TN. Inteplast BOPP Films can now produce and supply ISCC-certified materials that are attributed via a mass balance approach.

This makes the company one of the first North American BOPP film manufacturers to hold the ISCC PLUS designation and aligns with its sustainability goals.

Paul Marquard, general manager and VP of BOPP Films, says that the ISCC PLUS certification’s mass balance approach fortifies circular economic development and makes waste a restorative resource.
