As sustainability continues to move from ambition to expectation, brands are increasingly looking for credible ways to reduce their environmental impact without compromising product performance or packaging quality. One of the most recognised frameworks helping to support this transition is ISCC+ certification.
ISCC+, which stands for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, is a globally recognised certification system designed to verify the sustainability credentials of recycled and bio-based raw materials throughout the supply chain. It provides a transparent and independently audited method of tracking materials from their source through to the finished product.
Unlike sustainability claims that can be difficult to substantiate, ISCC+ offers a robust chain of custody model, giving brands confidence that certified materials have been responsibly sourced and managed according to strict environmental and social standards.
Why ISCC+ Matters
Consumers, retailers and regulators are placing increasing pressure on brands to demonstrate genuine progress towards sustainability targets. At the same time, businesses are seeking practical solutions that can reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based materials while maintaining the performance characteristics required for demanding packaging applications.
ISCC+ helps bridge this gap by supporting the use of circular and renewable feedstocks through a mass balance approach. This allows recycled and bio-based materials to be integrated into existing manufacturing processes, accelerating the transition towards a circular economy without requiring significant changes to production infrastructure.
For brands, this creates an opportunity to:
- Reduce their reliance on virgin fossil-based resources
- Support circular economy initiatives
- Contribute towards carbon reduction objectives
- Demonstrate credible sustainability commitments
- Meet evolving customer and regulatory expectations
The Importance of a Certified Supply Chain
One of the key strengths of ISCC+ certification is that it extends beyond a single manufacturer or production facility. To maintain certification integrity, every organisation handling the certified material must be audited and certified within the supply chain.
This end-to-end approach provides complete traceability and transparency, ensuring that sustainability claims are supported by independently verified processes at every stage.
Without a fully certified supply chain, the benefits and claims associated with ISCC+ materials cannot be maintained through to the finished packaging product.
How Law Print Supports ISCC+ Packaging Projects
At Law Print, we understand that sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in packaging decisions. Through our partnership with SCGP and our network of approved material suppliers, we can offer a range of packaging solutions produced within a fully ISCC+ certified supply chain.
This means brands can benefit from packaging that is supported by certified material suppliers, certified manufacturing facilities and certified conversion processes, providing confidence that sustainability claims are backed by recognised industry standards.
Our access to the wider SCGP group allows us to source and manufacture packaging solutions through factories that hold ISCC+ certification, ensuring continuity and traceability from raw material through to finished pack.
ISCC+ Packaging Across Multiple Formats
ISCC+ certification is not limited to a single packaging format. Through the SCGP network, Law Print can support a broad range of packaging applications, including:
- Flexible packaging for pet food, food and consumer products
- Pouches and sachets
- Lidding films
- Rigid packaging solutions
- Containers, trays and pots

This enables brands to explore more sustainable packaging options across their product portfolio while maintaining the performance, barrier protection and shelf appeal their products require.
