Open-Bio: Clear EU standards for bio-based products

12 February 2015

Wageningen UR is investigating standards for bio-based products as part of the Open-Bio EU project. There is some ambiguity concerning bio-based products which frequently have different functional properties and end-of-life options from petroleum-based products. Clear standards will help to remove barriers to the introduction of bio-based products on the market.
The aim is to develop guidelines for labelling bio-based products and for the information accompanying bio-based products. In other words, the standards must be translated to suit the needs of specific target groups. The outcome of this research will deliver EU standards and policy lines (Press Release Wageningen UR, 9 February 2015).
