Meanwhile the initiative has really been getting momentum! Already 69 well-known personal supporters have signed.<br \/>\n17 innovative, sustainable companies have already shown interest to become member of the Core Advisory Board of the Initiative. Three companies are already in the process of signing. The Core Advisory Board will develop criteria and conditions for companies, associations and institutes joining the board after the launch, and will also decide on the main activities during and after the launch of RCI for September to December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Stakeholders\u2019 feedback on our planned RCI is very positive: In May 2020, we asked all participants of the \u201c13<sup>th<\/sup> International Conference on Bio-based Materials\u201d in an online survey: \u201cWhat do you think of the Renewable Carbon Initiative?\u201d And the feedback gave a clear message: 75% agreed with the statement \u201cthe right and convincing strategy into a sustainable future\u201d, and only 2% voted on \u201cless good, the different sectors need their own strategies\u201d (23% had no clear opinion).<\/p>\n<p>Please support the initiative!

The results (incl. a ranking list) will be published with the launch of RCI in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eIt is not CO2 that is at the core of the climate problem, but the additional fossil carbon that we take out of the ground and which gets released in the atmosphere as CO2 or other emissions.
