SEOUL, South Korea, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- By meeting global standards, the company is expected to increase both

domestic and oversea business

LDC Co., Ltd., a waste treatment and raw material recycling company, announced

on March 23 that it had acquired the ISCC PLUS Certification, the global

international certification system for eco-friendly materials, for the first

time in Korea's carbon black industry.

ISCC PLUS is an international certification system that meets the European

Union's Renewable Energy Directives in evaluating and certifying the

eco-friendliness and sustainability of materials and production processes of a

product.

With more than 130 eco-friendly material manufacturers, NGOs, and research

institutes around the world as members, the eco-friendly certification is

considered the industry's most credible. This certification can only be

obtained through strict evaluation of the eco-friendliness of a product from

raw materials and production to final product and sale.

Since 2017, LDC is the only company in Korea to produce and supply GCB (Green

Carbon Black), "Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)" using waste tires from Korea.

After collecting and crushing waste tires, LDC produces rCB through pyrolysis,

refining and processing, and is taking the lead in implementing a transparent

circular economy through a series of processes where the processed materials

are supplied to tire manufacturers who use them as raw materials.

LDC introduced GCB, an rCB product that meets the stringent quality

requirements demanded by tire companies, and was selected as one of the 100

Green New Deal Promising Companies and 1000 National Innovative Companies.

Sales volume has increased from 1,000 tons in 2020 to 1,200 tons in 2021 and

this year, sales are projected to increase by more than 4,000 tons, signifying

steady growth.

With the acquisition of ISCC PLUS certification, LDC has been recognized for

its efforts in meeting global standards as an eco-friendly company.

Hwang Yong-kyung, CEO of LDC, said, "We have been reducing carbon dioxide

emissions and the use of crude oil resources for a sustainable future, and have

been manufacturing recycled resource materials that solve environmental

problems caused by waste tires."

CEO Hwang forecast, "With the ISCC Plus certification, we will expand our

production capacity from 9,000 tons to 34,000 tons by 2025 by expanding Korean

and export sales to become Korea's leading global eco-friendly rCB company."
