Definition bio-based products
◊ Bio-based products refer to non-food products derived from
biomass (plants, algae, crops, trees, marine organisms and biological
waste from households, animal & food production).

◊ They may range from high value added fine chemicals
(pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food additives) to high volume
materials such as bio-polymers or chemical feedstock.

◊ They exclude traditional bio-based products such as pulp and
paper, wood products and bio-mass as an energy source

Lead Market Initiative
for Bio-based Products
Policy measures to stimulate uptake and demand for bio-based products:
1.

Legislation: ensure a coherent, comprehensive and coordinated
development of policies and regulations that impact the development of
bio-based product markets

2.

Public procurement: encourage Green Public Procurement for biobased products

3.

Standardisation/Labelling: Establish standards and labels for specific
bio-based products

4.

Finance: support access to finance for R&D&I; promote the
establishment of biorefinery pilot plants and demonstrators involving all
actors and investments at EU, national and regional level.

5.

Communication: conduct an information campaign, communication of
policies regarding bio-based products as well as the benefits of these
products

Lead Market Initiative
Standards, labeling & certification*
Recommendations
1.

Develop a European Standard to determine the “bio-based content,
common for all bio-based

2.

Use “carbon footprint” as main sustainability indicator until a
standardized LCA method has been worked out assessing the
sustainability of the whole life cycle of the product.

3.

Develop simple “added value” criteria for public procurement

Conclusions
We have to reduce our environmental footprint drastically
• Need step-changes ……
• ….. but we cannot sit and wait for them to happen

Renewably-sourced materials provide for a step in the right direction, and the
first ones are available now:
• Renewable feedstock that can be produced locally, sustainably, and compatible with food production
• Lower GHG emissions, lower energy usage
• Opportunity to work with all players along the value chain on bringing the overall environmental
footprint down further

Increased uptake by customers and consumers requires
• An attractive value proposition
• Engaging in consumer communication (standards and labels provide the basis)
• Reducing obstacles in the regulatory and legislative fields
• Creating focus towards a common objective along a given value chain

Need more vision …. and more sense of urgency, especially at consumer
level!
