What is Open-Bio Opening bio-based markets via

Standards, Labelling and Procurement Start: 2013-11-01 Project duration: 3 years Part of the FP7-KBBE work programme Funded by EC, total budget 8,05M€ Follow-up and alongside earlier initiated

KBBPPS project

Goals presents insight into overall sustainability and

applicability of bio-based products via tailored-to-demand product information (in a database) and a recognizable label

specific standards and EU Directives cover some aspects, but goal is to develop generally applicable concepts

overall assessment system (standards, tool, label and product information list or sheet) which is scientifically valid and focussed on bio-based products

Objectives1. Standard test method for bio-based content measurement

2. Test methods for mechanical, chemical, thermal and other functionalities of the major bio-based products.

3. Standard test methods on biodegradability in soil, fresh water and marine environments

4. Horizontal test methods for centralized composting, for home and farm composting and for biogasification

5. Define improvements of the Ecolabel criteria as to make them compatible with bio-based product criteria in accordance with developed standards on functionality and sustainability

6. Interaction tool for B2B and B2C exchange
