Orthex wants to give consumers the opportunity to choose more environmentally friendly products and has started using renewable raw materials produced by applying a so-called mass balance approach. Mass balance means that renewable materials are mixed with fossil materials in the raw material production process. This reduces the amount of fossil-based plastic in the world.

The mass balance approach is a calculation-based principle. By keeping track of the quantities throughout the entire production chain, the renewable raw material can be allocated to specific products. Orthex is ISCC PLUS certified, which means that the mass balance accounting follows predefined and transparent rules, and each of our mass balance products carries the ISCC logo.
