The EU-funded BioReCer project (of which Cittadinanzattiva is consortium member) invites stakeholder from the bio-based industries, research, certification and standardisation, and (consumer) organisations to its final event at the Ciudad de la Cultura in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Scheduled from 9:00 to 14:45 CET, this occasion marks the conclusion of the project, which over three years has worked intensely to improve the trust, traceability, and certification of biological feedstocks.
The BioReCer (Biological Resources Certifications Schemes) project has developed a framework for assessing the sustainability and circularity of biological resources, identified indicators of circularity, as well as guidelines for integrating these into established certification schemes. In addition, a Standardisation Toolkit was developed, which is a comprehensive online database designed to support professionals in the bio-based industry. Recommendations for the valorisation and use of biological feedstock propose integration of BioReCer findings into policy.
