New trend report highlights certifications and labels for bio-based and biodegradable materials for the European market. Get the latest info on possibilities for feedstock, bio-based content and end-of-life options.

It is not always easy to communicate the benefits of bio-based and/or biodegradable materials to the market. Europe is working on standards and norms as one key area to promote bio-based materials. But what do you need to get your product certified?

The new trend report “Standards and labels for bio-based products” provides a comprehensive overview and a summary of already existing certification and labelling schemes applied to bio-based materials. The certified issues include: Feedstocks used, measurable bio-based content of the products and biodegradability properties for different environments. It also looks at the latest insights into the possible connections between ecolabels, especially the EU Ecolabel, and bio-based products and what this means for producers and consumers of bio-based plastics.
