The Internationally Recognized "Green Passport"
SeaHiPot (Ningbo) Renewable Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. has successfully obtained the ISCC PLUS International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. This milestone achievement not only recognizes their outstanding work in ocean plastic recycling but also adds an internationally recognized "green passport" to the comprehensive industrial closed-loop system that Topcentral New Materials Co., Ltd. has meticulously built—spanning "recycling, regeneration, and high-value applications."
As a globally recognized sustainability certification system, ISCC PLUS imposes extremely stringent requirements on raw material traceability, carbon footprint management, and environmental compliance. In the circular plastics sector, it represents a "hard threshold" for European market access.

The successful certification of SeaHiPot means that their collected ocean pollutants—including abandoned fishing nets, plastic bottles, and fishing gear—have reached internationally top-tier standards in traceability transparency and environmental processing standards. Every batch of ocean plastic they collect will follow an internationally recognized, traceable, and verifiable sustainable development standard throughout the entire process, from collection and transportation to entry into downstream regeneration factories.
"Digital Identity Card": Rebuilding Industry Trust
The complex sources and scattered collection of ocean plastic waste have long been pain points for industry trust. Traditional recycling chains often become unclear at the "source" stage, making it difficult for brands to verify the authenticity of environmental claims, even when they genuinely wish to use recycled materials.
As the key upstream component of Topcentral's "Ocean Partner" ecosystem, SeaHiPot's ISCC PLUS certification essentially embeds internationally accepted traceability and audit rules into the initial stage of ocean plastic recycling. It establishes a comprehensive "digital identity card" for plastic waste collected from fishermen and coastal communities—including old fishing nets, buoys, and other materials.
This "identity card" comprehensively records key information such as the source, weight, and circulation process of recycled plastics, ultimately conferring environmental attributes to the regenerated materials produced from them. After preprocessing steps including classification, screening, and packaging, these recycled plastics are sent to Topcentral and transformed through professional regeneration technology into internationally certified recycled plastics such as Puretz®rPC and IBISS®rABS—truly achieving the value transformation of "turning ocean waste into treasure."
"Ocean Partner" Environmental Cabin: Innovative Model for Public Participation

SeaHiPot's innovative practices in ocean environmental protection extend far beyond certification system construction. At Qifeng Dock, Chunhu Street, Fenghua District, Ningbo, the "Ocean Partner" Environmental Cabin—constructed from repurposed shipping containers—represents their landmark innovative initiative.
In this unique environmental space, fishermen can exchange old fishing gear brought back from sea for "carbon credits," while tourists who collect plastic bottles from beaches can exchange credits for exquisite eco-friendly creative products. This innovative "recycling + public welfare + cultural tourism" model not only creates additional income for local fishermen but also effectively generates widespread enthusiasm and positive participation in ocean environmental protection.
To date, through the establishment of recycling stations and "Sea Trace" stations in fishing villages including Qifeng and Tongzhao, SeaHiPot has collected over 2,000 metric tons of ocean plastic waste. After professional processing, waste volume is reduced by 80%, significantly lowering subsequent transportation costs and achieving a genuine win-win for both economic and environmental benefits.
"Dual Carbon" Vision: Stepping onto the International Stage
The acquisition of ISCC PLUS certification injects strong momentum into Topcentral's "dual carbon" goals. Topcentral has consistently committed to circular economy and carbon neutrality technological innovation. This certification means that the source credibility of SeaHiPot's ocean plastic regeneration materials has gained internationally authoritative recognition, enabling smoother connections with brand clients—both domestic and international—who have stringent requirements for material traceability.
This certification strengthens Topcentral's competitiveness among international leading enterprises in sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, and premium consumer goods, while also granting Chinese domestic enterprises greater voice on the international sustainable development stage.
Looking ahead, Topcentral will continue deepening strategic cooperation with SeaHiPot, constantly expanding the application boundaries of recycled plastic products in packaging, industrial products, apparel, and home textiles. Through their collaborative partnership, the inspiring story of "turning ocean waste into treasure" is being extended from the fishing villages on the East China Sea shore to broader international markets.
"We believe that every plastic bottle and every discarded fishing net holds the potential for renewed creation. The ISCC PLUS certification represents international recognition of our efforts in ocean plastic recycling and, more importantly, a commitment to the future—restoring ocean clarity and enabling sustainable development of our planet."
