The certifications mark the company’s latest step toward enhancing market competitiveness amid the growing global demand for low–carbon products.

Hanwha Solutions obtained new certifications for eight products and renewed certifications for two products. Those receiving first-time recognition are caustic soda (NaOH), chlorine (Cl2), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and polyolefin (PO) products including low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), wire and cable (W&C) compound, and hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin (H-HCR).

Caustic soda manufacturing facility at Hanwha Solutions’ Yeosu Complex, South Korea
Hanwha Solutions’ caustic soda is the first product to earn ISCC PLUS certification in Asia for its use of an increased proportion of renewable energy in production. While caustic soda has a wide variety of applications, it is a key material in battery manufacturing as the product is utilized to remove impurities from the cathode materials used in rechargeable electric vehicle batteries.
The company’s certified products, ranging from circular raw materials to bio-based fuels, are gaining global recognition for their low-carbon manufacturing processes.
