MEGlobal wins first U.S. ISCC carbon footprint certification for ethylene glycol

MEGlobal Americas has become the first ethylene glycol producer in the United States to earn ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification for products made at its Oyster Creek, Texas site. The certification gives customers independently verified product-level carbon footprint data as carbon reporting demands tighten across global supply chains.

Why it matters: - The certification gives MEGlobal customers independently audited, product-specific carbon footprint data for procurement and reporting. - The milestone supports EQUATE Group’s ESG goals by turning sustainability claims into verified product data. - Carbon footprint documentation is becoming more important as reporting rules tighten in key global markets.

What happened: - MEGlobal Americas Inc., an EQUATE Group company, received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Carbon Footprint Certification for monoethylene glycol (MEG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) produced at its Oyster Creek, Texas manufacturing site. - The company became the first ethylene glycol producer in the United States to hold ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification. - The certification was announced October 27, 2026.

The details: - The certification covers MEG and DEG output from the Oyster Creek site. - The site began operations in 2019. - MEGlobal says the site serves customers in a wide range of industries and applications. - Naser Aldousari, president and CEO of EQUATE Group, said the certification reflects the company’s ESG strategy and provides independently verified carbon footprint data customers can use in reporting and decisions. - Julia Cockerham, program manager of Carbon Assurance at SCS Global Services, said third-party certification adds assurance that environmental claims have gone through a rigorous and transparent review process. - MEGlobal operates one of the world’s most geographically diverse ethylene glycol businesses and supplies customers around the globe.

Between the lines: - The certification is not just a compliance badge. It positions MEGlobal to better serve customers facing stricter supply-chain carbon disclosure demands. - Third-party verification can help lower friction in customer audits and procurement reviews, especially for products with embedded emissions data. - The announcement also reinforces EQUATE Group’s effort to link sustainability messaging to measurable product-level proof.

What’s next: - MEGlobal is likely to use the certification to strengthen customer relationships where carbon data is now part of buying decisions. - EQUATE Group may continue pursuing additional verification or certification efforts as ESG reporting requirements evolve. - The Oyster Creek site remains an important production base for MEGlobal’s global ethylene glycol business.

The bottom line: - MEGlobal has turned a sustainability goal into a certified market advantage, and the move could help the company win business as carbon transparency becomes a procurement requirement.
