Imagine trying to prove your new eco-friendly plastic is actually better for the planet than oil-based plastic, but everyone uses a different ruler to measure it. This project creates a single, trusted 'ruler' that accounts for things like land use and carbon timing. It helps companies prove their green claims so investors and regulators actually believe them.
Companies struggle to prove the sustainability of bio-based products because current measurement methods are inconsistent and ignore key factors like biogenic carbon and land use. This uncertainty scares away investors and slows down regulatory approval.
["A dynamic carbon footprint method integrating temporal data.", "A library of 143 circularity indicators with practical application guidance.", "Prospective LCA tools for low-TRL technologies to predict future environmental impacts."]
If you are a bio-polymer manufacturer dealing with inconsistent sustainability ratings across different markets — this project developed harmonized LCA methodologies that provide reliable data for certification schemes. This allows you to prove your product's lower carbon footprint to international buyers.
If you are a green chemistry startup dealing with low-TRL technologies that lack historical data — this project developed prospective LCA approaches for early-stage tech. This reduces investment risks by predicting environmental impacts before full-scale production.
If you are a bio-refinery operator dealing with complex land-use and biodiversity impact queries — this project developed refined assessment methods covering 143 circularity indicators. This helps you optimize resource efficiency and meet zero-pollution objectives.
Based on available project data, the project does not provide specific cost figures, but it aims to reduce investment risks for innovative technologies by providing more accurate environmental impact predictions.
Yes, the project specifically addresses up-scaling and future scenarios via Integrated Assessment Models to compare emerging technologies with current market systems.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the results are intended to be integrated into certification schemes to enable international trade.
Yes, it is designed to align with the EU Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan to support climate neutrality by 2050.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with methodologies currently being refined and tested in real-world case studies.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercial translation, featuring 10 partners across 7 countries. With a 30% industry ratio (3 industrial partners) and 2 SMEs, the project ensures that the developed methodologies are grounded in market needs rather than just academic theory.
