Everyone can - voluntarily - benefit of it • They provide market parties clarity and trust in products, services or organizations and challenge the society to innovate
- 6. Standardization The standardization process: •Standards are developed by groups of experts from all over the world, that are part of larger groups called technical committees •Committees (and working groups) are made up of experts from the relevant industry, but also from consumer associations, academia, NGOs and government •NEN acts as facilitator (= secretary/project leader)
- 7. Standards & bio-based products • Promote the uptake of bio-based products • Green Procurement • Market transparency • Validation and verification • Methods and requirements • Sustainability
- 8. Bio-based • Bio-based products are products that are wholly or partially derived from biomass • Bio-based products can be either material, intermediate, semi-finished or final products • Bio-based economy; transition from ‘fossil based’ towards ‘bio-based’

Editor's Notes
- Introductie Suzan; cluster Energie; wat in dit cluster. Een van de thema’s.
- Voluntary agreement
- Promote the uptake of bio-based products by consumers, facilitate the functioning of the Single Market and enable public authorities to implement green procurement policies. Increase the market transparency by providing common reference methods and requirements that enable the verification of claims regarding the bio-based content, bio-degredability or environmental sustainability of different producst. NEN is actively involved in international Standard development concerning (solid and liquid) Biofuels, Biogas, bio-food and –feed and even algae. Today, I will focus on bio-based products.
- Biobased Economy (BBE) gaat over de overgang van een economie die draait op fossiele grondstoffen naar een economie die draait op biomassa als grondstof: van ‘fossil based’ naar ‘bio based’. In een biobased economy gaat het dus over het gebruik van biomassa voor niet-voedsel toepassingen. Deze toepassingen zijn bijvoorbeeld inhoudsstoffen, chemicaliën, materialen, transportbrandstoffen, elektriciteit en warmte. Fro the business plan CEN/TC 411; A recent study1 estimates that, by 2025, over 15 % of the three trillion dollar global chemical sales will be derived from bio-derived sources. Yet another study highlights that over 90% of the annual global plastic production of 270 Mio tons is technically feasible for substitution by bioplastics. As of 2005, bio-based products already accounted for 7% of global sales and around 77 billion Euro in value within the chemical sector. The EU industry accounted for approximately 30% of this value2.
- Environmental friendly? Compostable? Degrades? What does recyclable as ever mean? Why ‘up to’ 30%? Does it say anything on the product or package?
- NEN verzorgt het secretariaat voor CEN/TC 411 Bio-based products, dat op basis van mandaat M/492 werkt aan horizontale normen voor biobased producten. NEN ondersteunt ook de Nederlandse convenors van WG 1 terminology, WG 3 bio-based content en WG 5 certification tools. Daarnaast ondersteunt NEN de convenor (ESIG) van WG 2 biosolvents, dat op basis van mandaat M/491 een norm voor biobased oplosmiddelen uitwerkt. Het werkprogramma, inclusief het financieringscontract met de EC loopt tot en met september 2016. Het grootste deel van de gevraagde deliverables zal tegen die tijd zijn opgeleverd.
- Development of standards for bio-based products covering horizontal aspects. This includes consistent terminology, sampling, certification tools, bio-based content, application of and correlation towards life cycle analysis, sustainability criteria for biomass used and for final products, and aspects where further harmonization is needed on horizontal level Development of standards for bio-solvents, covering product functionality, biodegradability and, if necessary, product specific aspects not covered under
- Uitleggen namen WP 1: EN 16575:2014. This European Standard defines general terms to be used in the field of bio-based products, including horizontal aspects relevant for bio-based product standards. NOTE Though the terms in this standard are horizontally applicable to bio-based products, this standard focuses on areas other than food, feed and energy applications, where terms may be defined in existing specific standards. The objective of Working Group 1 is to develop a standard on general terminology applicable to bio-based products, such as bio-lubricants, bio-surfactants, biopolymers and bio-solvents.Where necessary guidance towards the development of terminology for specific bio-based products and use in vertical standards should be developed for both other working groups and for users. WP 2: CEN/TS 16766:2015. This Technical Specification sets requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of properties, limits, application classes and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents The goal of this Working Group is the development of standards for solvents, covering product functionality (performance), toxicity, ecotoxicity,biodegradability, safety and, if necessary, product specific and sustainability aspects not covered under another CEN/TC 411 working group. Special attention shall be paid to bio-based solvents and their possible differences, if any.Bio-based solvents might be discriminated by their biological origin, their life-cycle impact and theiroverall ecological impact. These functions therefore have to be explicitly described and madecomparable. WP 3; three standards are being drafted. A technical report has already been established on the methods used for determination of bio-based content. Bio-based products - Bio-based carbon content - Determination of the bio-based carbon content using the radiocarbon method Bio-based products - Bio-based content - Part 1: Determination of the bio-based content using the radiocarbon analysis and elemental analysis Bio-based products - Bio-based content - Part 2: Determination of the bio-based content using the material balance method The task of this Working Group is the development of methods for the determination of the bio-based content of solid, liquid and gaseous products.Specifically this WG focuses on the development of:- A method or a set of methods for determining the bio-based carbon content of products, taking into account existing radiocarbon content standards.- A method or a set of methods for determining the total bio-based content of products, complementary to the carbon content. WP 4; This Working Group focuses on the development of horizontal standards for bio-based products when it comes to sustainability criteria, life cycle analysis and issues related thereto.It is not the purpose of this standardization work to set thresholds or default values. This is to be done by specific product standards or by political decision. WP 5; Bio-based products - Template for B2B reporting and communication of characteristics - Data sheet. Under enquiry. The task of This Working Group is the development of declaration and certification tools applicable to bio-based products identifying which characteristics can/should be assessed and how they should be reported.It is not in the scope to define criteria for products and/or packaging.
- The origin of the research call was a Mandate by the European Commission addressed to the European Standardization bodies (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) for the development of horizontal European standards and other standardisation deliverables for bio-based products. Part of it was to explore the potential of European standards and other standardisation deliverables for bio-based products and review the already existing standards including also considering their possible revision as well as examining at the same time the potential for a single bio-based product standard. Following that needs for pre-and co-normative research relevant to the development of European standards or other standardisation deliverables for bio-based products were established and prioritised. The project aims at increasing the uptake speed of standards and certification systems for bio-based products. The application of standards and certification systems by a large number of players in the European bio-based product industry has positive long-term effects on the overall development of biobased product markets. Trade barriers are reduced and the development of a pan-European market for bio-based products is promoted. Higher quality and sustainability bio-based products increases the satisfaction of end-users at all levels and the economic viability of bio-based products' utilisation, e.g. through increased awareness of the life cycle advantages. Finally, public acceptance of bio-based products is increased through ensuring and verifying the sustainable sourcing of raw materials, the effective bio-content and clear indication of their (comparative) functionality in relation to the regular products. These positive effects will indirectly result in faster growth of the bio-based product industry and increased share of bio-based in the total use of final (consumer) products and intermediates up to 2020 and beyond. The proposed programme will promote these positive effects by facilitating the development and improvement of standards and their related certification systems.

- WP 2: Objectives Reach out towards BBE related research work and standardization development outside Europe Prepare draft deliverable texts ready for balloting in CEN WP 3; Development of sampling and test methodology for the determination of biogenic carbon in a wide variety of product types or streams For developing the market for bio-based products, there is an obvious need for ways to distinguish bio-based products from non-bio-based products. And as bio-based products can be made with a mix of bio-based and non-bio-based (e.g. from fossil oil) components, the bio-based content criteria is of high importance. Test methods used at present for that matter are based on 14C measurement as in the US standard test method ASTM D68663. In Europe, these methods are currently being developed further for applications such as solid recovered fuels and bio-based plastics (resp. EN 154404 and CEN/TS 161375). However, these methods have not yet been applied to the whole range of bio-based products, such as liquids, and assembled products. A horizontal standard that can be adequately applied to measure bio-based carbon content in all sorts of products is hence needed. WP 4; Developments towards an indirect test methodology for determination of biomass content, based on analysis of the production chain Development of a standard test method and testing scheme for determination of biomass content that is not solely dependent on 14C analysis – applicable in different bio-based products, including as a minimum bio-polymers, -lubricants, -surfactants, and –solvents. WP 5; Identify the main important bio-based materials, intermediates and products, from a market and functionality aspect Identification and resolution of functionality related bottlenecks with the view to adjusting, developing, expanding, harmonising and validating test methodologies considering the use of priority bio-based products WP 6; Development of test methodology and testing scheme for biodegradability testing in different environments, including evaluation of ecotoxicological effects, for biolubricants and bio-solvents
- Carbon-content norm The determination of the biomass content is based on the measurement of 14C isotopes in products which allows the calculation of the bio-based carbon fraction. The Technical Specification provides the reference test methods for laboratories, producers, suppliers and purchasers of bio-based product materials and products. It may be also useful for authorities and inspection organisations. The KBBPPS project will continue the development of measuring bio-based content. However, the results based on the 14C methodology are expressed as a fraction of bio-based carbon on the total (organic) carbon content of the sample. In some cases the bio-based content of a product can differ substantially from the bio-based carbon content, when other elements stemming from biomass are present in higher shares than carbon. Since European industry is concerned about presenting the total biomass content – which cannot generally be declared on the basis of bio-carbon content alone – the KBBPPS project continues to work on other techniques. Biomassa-content Generieke sampling (voorbeeld? Praktijk hoe sample je X) ECN voorbeelden (WP 6)Basisteksten ontwikkeld. Product categorieën en marktbarriéres geidentificeerd. Specifications are lacking favourable bio-based properties Irrelevant or misleading information for the consumer (Sometimes less important) specifications are not fulfilled by bio-based products Bio-applicability is not always given in regulations through old thinking
- The project builds upon another, pending FP7 project called "Knowledge Based Bio-based Products' Pre-Standardization" (KBBPPS). This project focusses on pre-standardization work regarding bio-based (carbon) content and basic biodegradation, plus functionality testing. As it covers the long-hanging fruit in terms of products and first standards developments, it forms a ground layer for further work towards product information that suits all stakeholders and brings social acceptance for the bio-based products. Therefore, the KBBPPS project partners consider it logical to propose a new project to construct the next floor of the European bio-based product standards' building.
- WP 2: same as WP 2 KBBPPS WP 3: Objectives (intermediate targets and indicators for achievement) Establishing a qualitative sound, but affordable method for bio-based content measurement.. Develop an indirect methodology to determine the renewability of bio-based products component elements/molecules. Incorporation of bio-based (carbon) content methods in current biomass sustainability schemes. Development of complete bio-based content methodology using stable isotopes and isoscapes. Database for feed stocks and products, with isotopes, finger print and sustainability aspects WP 4; follow-up on the KBBPPS result to check functionality tests for the products of major importance, focus on special functionalities of bio-based products and develop test methodologies for it WP 5; Data collection through international RR tests for biodegradability in fresh water and in soil Development of testing methods and specifications on marine biodegradation of bio-based materials WP 6; Critical review and refinement of existing standards on centralized industrial composting Development of horizontal test methodology, testing scheme and acceptance criteria for decentralized composting, covering both home and farm composting and including evaluation of biodegradation and ecotoxicological effects Critical review on existing standards on anaerobic digestion and biogasification Development of horizontal test methodology, testing scheme and acceptance criteria for biogasification, covering wet and dry systems, mesophilic and thermophilic systems. Development of a test methodology, testing scheme and acceptance criteria for recyclability, including both mechanical and chemical recycling Validation of the proposed test methodologies and schemes WP 7; Define further improvements of the Ecolabel criteria as to make them compatible with bio-based product criteria in accordance with the developed standards on functionality and sustainability criteria. WP 8; This work package aims at developing a European product information database on bio-based products that could be used for public procurement for (business-to-public or B2P) and bio-based producers (business-tobusiness or B2B). The database should also be used to promote their uptake in consumer markets (business-to-consumer or B2C). WP 9; The major objective of the project is to develop a set of technical documents, instruments and tools which enables the assessment of sustainability of bio-based products. This WP will focus on the acceptance of stakeholders (public, industrial procurers and consumers). This will result in recommendations halfway the project time for improvement of the systems being developed in WP7 and WP8.
- Consumer acceptance of Bio-Based Products An exploratory study among 6 European countries, including 107 correspondents. The results suggest that consumers want to hear a coherent story about all aspects of the product, covering (i) all stages of production and use (including disposal) and (ii) all sustainability aspects including environmental and social impacts. They do not like inconsistencies in the product image, or insecurities. That causes mixed feelings or distrust, and feelings of “green washing”. Consumers do not know much about bio-based, but this does not imply that they do want a lot of detailed, technical information on product level. They assess labels as being helpful, mainly at the moment of purchase. Therefore, the label should be understandable in itself at the moment of purchase and it should be clear what a bio-based label adds to already existing labels. Consumers and product information; Need for a coherent story, including A) all stages of production and use (incl. disposal) B) all sustainability aspects including environmental and social impacts
