Rayonier Advanced Materials announced that it has achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus (ISCC+) recognition at its Fernandina Beach facility. The certification will allow RYAM's customers to procure ISCC+ certified High Purity Cellulose, addressing sustainability requirements in their end markets.
This certification only applies to the Fernandina Beach facility initially across various end uses, but may be expanded to other facilities as customer demand for sustainable inputs rise.
"The ISCC Plus certification demonstrates RYAM's commitment to sustainable production and to provide its key customers with the highest quality biobased products," said Vito Consiglio, President and Chief Executive Officer at Rayonier Advanced Materials.
RYAM's Fernandina Beach facility, which was constructed in 1937 near downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida, produces 155,000 metric tons of softwood cellulose specialties per year and employs more than 300 people.
