2. What is ETV? Interest and benefits of ETV
Example of environmental technologies in our technology areas:
materials, waste, and resources.
• Recycling of industrial by-products and waste into secondary materials;
• Separation or sorting techniques for solid waste, materials recovery ;
• Solid waste management, treatment, removal, and safe storage technologies
of hazardous waste;
• Products sourced from biomass (bioplastics, biofuels, fiber products, etc.)
This new European program is designed to provide technology
developers, manufacturers and investors access to third-party validation
of the performance of innovative environmental technologies.
Performed by a third-party independent organization, called the
Verification Body, and accredited in compliance with the requirements
of ISO 17020 and the General Verification Protocol (GVP).
The Verification Body ensures that the objectives and quality-assured
performance claims of the technology by appropriate testing methods.
A statement of verification including the ETV Logo will be
delivered at the end of ETV verification process, and can be used as
evidence that claims are both credible and reliable.
Claims are transcribed in terms of measurable performance
parameters.
Provide credible and reliable
performance claims verified
by an independent third-party.
Win over prospective
buyers’ confidence and increase

European and international markets.
Simplify the adoption
of innovation and provide
